Government of Canada Visitor Welcome Centre

The new Government of Canada Visitor Welcome Centre (VWC) is the first major addition on Parliament Hill in almost a century. This two-level underground complex serves as the new entrance to Parliament Hill, intended to improve security and enhance circulation between buildings on the historic site. A minimalist insertion into the existing heritage landscape, the VWC enriches its surroundings with a new layer of contemporary design.
