Grand Entrance Hall

Two bronze doors give access to an impressive grand entrance hall, measuring 32 by 17 metres, and 12 metres in height. The walls are rubané marble and the floor Verdello and Montanello marble. Four marble columns along the end walls support a deep coffered ceiling.

At each end of the Grand Entrance Hall is a courtroom used by the Federal Court of Canada. The walls of these two courtrooms are walnut panelled, with Australian zebrano wood pilasters trimmed with Honduras mahogany. Corridors, with Missisquoi marble floors and walls, encircle the building on the ground floor and on the first and second floors.
