The Federal Public Building is a provincially-owned eleven-storey Art Deco government building made from granite and Tyndall stone, designed in 1939 and completed in 1958, that originally hosted the Western Canadian staff of the Government of Canada in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. It was built in 1955 by the federal government and acquired by the Government of Alberta in 1983, when the federal government began plans to relocate federal staff to a new building. It is considered to be one of Edmonton's most significant modern buildings. The Federal Public Building is located in the northeast corner of the Alberta Legislature grounds, and overlooks the Capital Plaza with its fountains and gardens. The building sat vacant from 1989. Major renovations were undertaken from 2009 to 2015. By Januar
