Édifice Hydro-Québec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Edifice Hydro Quebec)
The Édifice Hydro-Québec (English: Hydro-Québec Building) in Montreal, Quebec stands at 110 metres (360 ft) with 27 floors. Completed in 1962, it houses the headquarters for Hydro-Québec as well the Montreal offices of the Premier of Quebec.[1] The building was designed by Gaston Gagnier.[2]
Fittingly, the building is located on René-Lévesque Boulevard, named for former premier René Lévesque, who had nationalized Quebec's hydroelectric companies in 1963, while serving as Minister of Hydroelectric Resources and Public Works in the government of Jean Lesage.[3]
