*Inaugurated in 2000 at the foot of the original Parliament of Navarre, the Hôtel du Département [Departmental Administrative Building], a building of glass on which some buildings of the ''Boulevard des Pyrénées'' are reflected, now includes all administrative services linked to it.
*Renovated in 2007, the Bosquet Centre, is a shopping centre of contemporary architecture in the centre of town. Borrowing its name from [[Pierre Bosquet|Marshal Bosquet]] who has a nearby statue, it was built on the site of the former Hospital of Pau.
*The ''Palais des Pyrénées'' [Palace of the Pyrenees], the second shopping centre in the heart of the city, has had a tumultuous history. In its current form, it seems to have regained its spirit of 1808, that of the "Passage of Napoleon", a commercial route which heralded the modern covered market of 1838, destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century. The ''Palais des Pyrenees'' from 1930, or the ''Palais du Commerce et des Fêtes'' [Palace of trade and celebrations], was an art-deco complex covered with shops but also theatres, a casino and even a mini golf course. Return to its original condition began in 1951 with the removal of the roofing over the central path, Pau people regained views of the Pyrenees. Four buildings were then raised. It was in 2006 which it appeared in its current form, proud of its canopies of glass and steel.
*Since 1971, the ''Archives Départementales'' [Departmental Archives] have settled into two buildings, one of them of particularly atypical appearance due to its tiny triangular windows, which are designed to give the best protection to the preserved documents.
*The ''Archives Communautaires de l'Agglomération de Pau-Pyrénées '' [Community Archives of the Agglomeration of Pau-Pyrénées] are grouped, since March 2011, in the buildings of the former tram factory (on the site of what was previously a gas plant, as evidenced by the high chimney).
*The ''Faculté de Lettres et Sciences Humaines'' [Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences], and the ''Maison de l'Agriculture'' [House of Agriculture], with similar architectures dating from the start of the 1970s, break in their likeness as the first seems to humbly blend in with the vegetation, while the second seems to display a relative majesty.
