Cascadian Capitol Building
| ||||||||||||||||||
The Cascadian Capitol Building, commonly called the Capitol. Capitol Building, or Cascadian Capitol, is the seat of the Cascadian House of Representatives, the legislature of the Republic of Cascadia. It is located in the north of Olympia proper, between Marathon Park and the Pacific Ocean. The site is property of the national government, managed by the Architect of the Capitol who is responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the overall complex.
The original building was designed by Setrus on March 21, 2023 and completed in-game on April 18, 2023 by himself and HibachiBeamz. In early 2025 during the height of Project Olympia, Moxicodone, the project head, commissioned Setrus to design a plaza expansion to the south of the original building to be used for proper public gatherings and events.
Two wings, or halls, connected in the center by a rotunda make up a bulk of the capitol complex. In the wings are the offices for the House of Representatives and Architect of the Capitol. The rotunda acts as the House Chamber, with seats for all members of the legislature facing a dais holding seats for the Speaker, House Clerk, and Dean.
