Édifice Marie-Guyart
The Édifice Marie-Guyart, previously and still commonly known as Complexe G, is a 31-storey, office skyscraper completed in 1972 in Quebec City, Canada. The brutalist style tower is the tallest building in the city, as well as the tallest building in Canada east of Montreal. Situated in the Parliament Hill borough, the building houses most notably the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports, the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks, as well the Observatoire de la Capitale observation deck.
== History ==
During the 1960s, as a result of the Quiet Revolution, the Quebec provincial government undertook a period of rapid expansion, resulting in a greater need for office space in the downtown area.〔(Jean-Marie Lebel et Alain Roy, ''Québec, 1900-2000'', p. 95 ), sur Google Recherche de livres〕 In 1961, the "Commission d'aménagment de Québec" (Quebec Planning Commission) was formed and in 1963 the Commission produced an ambitious plan for the area surrounding the Hôtel du Parlement. The different buildings outlined in the plan were identified by letters, hence the name "Complexe G". The first version of "Complexe G", which appeared in 1965, comprised four towers between 22 and 25 floors, a complex that would have offered two and a half times more floor space than what was eventually constructed.〔(Jean-Marie Lebel et Alain Roy, ''Québec, 1900-2000'', p. 100 ), sur Google Recherche de livres〕 In 1969 the project was modified to include the current tower, as was as two other towers between it and the Grand Théâtre de Québec. The existing buildings on the site were acquired and demolished, however these two additional towers were never constructed. Construction of the current tower began in 1967 and was completed in 1972.〔(Commission de la Capitale-Nationale )〕
In 1987, the tower was officially renamed "Édifice Marie-Guyart" in honour of Marie de l'Incarnation, an Ursuline nun who was the religious foundress of the Ursuline order in New France.
