Standing on a hill overlooking historic St. John's, Confederation Building houses the Legislative Assembly. The 12 storey East Block was opened in 1960 and, at that time, housed all Provincial Government departments, boards and commissions. The main floor lobby contains a mural by Newfoundland artist Harold B. Goodridge, which represents Newfoundland before and after confederation. The grounds also contain a number of sculptures. The six-storey West Block accommodates more than 2,000 Provincial Government employees.
