The building is essentially rectangular with exterior elevations that reflect its symmetrical, bi-axial plan. The interior gross area of all floors, including the mezzanines and new basement, is approximately 58,000 square metres. The Peace Tower has a gross floor area of approximately 1,200 square metres.
The PWC is a 3 storey below grade complex of approximately 32,000 square metres. The new building will serve as a new entry into Centre Block for visitors and expand the space for the House of Commons, the Senate of Canada and Library of Parliament whilst blending seamlessly with the
heritage buildings currently on Parliament Hill.
