Confederation Hill:

The Confederation Building serves as the home of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly. It is located on Confederation Hill overlooking Newfoundland and Labrador's capital city, St. John's. The brick- and concrete-clad building has 11 storeys and is 64 metres (210 ft) tall. It was completed in 1960 at a cost of $9 million to replace the Colonial Building. A lantern is located at the top of the copper roof of the central tower and acts as a beacon when turned on at night.

n 1982, construction began on the West Block extension, a modern 7-storey structure, which is a six-storey building, with a gross floor area of 34,838 square metres (374,990 sq ft). The original building is now considered the East Block of the Confederation Building.  A third building on the legislature campus is the Service Building Annex a two-storey building housing a day care centre and garage for some provincial government vehicles.

A number of statues and landmarks are located near the building, some of which are included in the Adventure Lab Cache

• Statue of Gaspar Corte-Real - located southeast of the building.
• Statue of John Cabot - located at the foot of the steps at the East Block.
• Statue of Sir Wilfred Grenfell
• An enamel-coated metal coat of arms of Newfoundland and Labrador donated by businessman Paul J. Hohnson in 2000 is surrounded by a Gothic Revival stone lookout located in front of the East Block.
• The Royal Union Flag, the flag of Newfoundland and Labrador and the flag of Canada fly in front of the building.
