Il est désigné lieu historique national du Canada le 16 janvier 1987. Depuis le 28 janvier 2019, le bâtiment abrite la Chambre des communes, normalement située dans l'Édifice du Centre. Ce dernier est fermé pour des travaux devant s'échelonner durant toutes les années 2020. L'Édifice de l'Ouest comporte plusieurs bureaux de parlementaires, des salles de comité et une partie de la Bibliothèque du Parlement. (fr)

Built in the Victorian High Gothic style, the West Block has been extended twice since its original completion in 1865. Though not as renowned as the Centre Block of parliament, the West Block appears on the obverse of the Canadian five-dollar bill. (en)
