This five-storey building on Broadway in Winnipeg was designed by the local architectural firm of Waisman Ross and Associates and constructed by Malcom Construction in two parts: the first three floors in 1960 and the remaining two in 1963. Occupied originally by International Business Machines, it was purchased in 1979 by the Manitoba government to house provincial courtrooms and administrative space.
