Édifice André-Laurendeau
Édifice André-Laurendeau is an eleven-storey office tower located at 1050, rue des Parlementaires in Quebec City, Quebec. The Beaux-Arts structure was built between 1935 and 1937, designed by Lacroix, Drouin and Bergeron, and is the property of the Crown in Right of Quebec.[1] In 1980, it was named in honour of journalist and politician André Laurendeau.

After the fire at Bois de Coulonge in 1966, the office of the lieutenant governor of Quebec was moved to a suite of reception rooms, offices, and support facilities in the Édifice André-Laurendeau. The viceregal suite is the site of swearing-in ceremonies for Cabinet ministers and the granting of royal assent, and where the lieutenant governor receives his or her premier. Whenever the Canadian sovereign and/or other members of the royal family are in the provincial capital, he or she resides, or they reside, at a hotel.
