The **Jean Canfield Building** is a [Government of Canada](/source/Government_of_Canada) office building located in [Charlottetown](/source/Charlottetown,_Prince_Edward_Island), [Prince Edward Island](/source/Prince_Edward_Island). It is named after [Jean Canfield](/source/Jean_Canfield), the first woman elected to the [Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island](/source/Legislative_Assembly_of_Prince_Edward_Island).

The Jean Canfield building is one of the most environmentally friendly buildings ever constructed by Public Works and Government Services Canada.[1]

Constructed at a cost of $53.8 million in 2007, and officially opened in 2008, the structure is a modest 17,500 m2 rising 4 stories, and houses approximately 500 civil servants from 14 government departments.[2] The building also houses the Charlottetown Service Canada Centre. The project was completed under the supervision of the [Department of Public Works and Government Services](/source/Department_of_Public_Works_and_Government_Services_(Canada)) and in October 2011 was awarded a Gold [LEED](/source/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design) certification, for its sustainable and green design.[3] It has a 108 kW solar array on the roof, which in 2007 was the largest grid tied solar array in Canada.[4]
