The Senate of Canada Building is a building in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, located at 2 Rideau Street, and the current location of the Senate of Canada chamber, as well as some Senate offices and committee rooms. It is situated at the intersection of Wellington Street and the Rideau Canal, across the street from the Parliament buildings and Confederation Square, and across the street from the Château Laurier hotel, completed around the same time. Before 1966, the building served as Ottawa Union Station.
