==Chamber and offices== [[File:Government Conference Centre Ottawa.jpg|thumb|left|Temporary Senate building|alt=Temporary Senate building]] The original Senate chamber was lost to the fire that consumed the Parliament Buildings in 1916. The Senate then sat in the mineral room of what is today the [[Canadian Museum of Nature]] until 1922, when it relocated to [[Parliament Hill]]. With the Centre Block undergoing renovations, temporary chambers have been constructed in the [[Senate of Canada Building]], where the Senate began meeting in 2019.<ref name=building>{{cite web |last1=Canada |first1=Senate of |title=The Senate of Canada Building |url=https://sencanada.ca/en/about/scb |website=Senate of Canada |access-date=2 February 2020 |language=en |date=8 February 2019}}</ref> There are chairs and desks on both sides of the chamber, divided by a centre aisle. A public gallery is above the chamber. The [[dais]] of the [[Speaker of the Senate of Canada|speaker]] is at one end of the chamber, and includes the new [[Thrones of Canada|royal thrones]], made in part from [[Juglans regia|English walnut]] from [[Windsor Great Park]]. Outside of Parliament Hill, most senators have offices in the [[Victoria Building (Ottawa)|Victoria Building]] across Wellington Street.
