In 2011, the Parliament left the Red House and moved to
temporary accommodation in Tower D of the Port-of-Spain
International Waterfront Centre, in order to allow for repair of the
entire building for the exclusive use of the Parliament.
On Friday 24 January, 2020 the Red House was re-opened by Her
Excellency Paula-Mae Weekes, President of the Republic of
Trinidad and Tobago. The number of staff at the Parliament had
grown so significantly during that period that a companion
building, Cabildo Chambers, located to the west of the Red House
at St. Vincent Street, was needed to accommodate them. The
buildings were joined by an elevated walkway to allow for access
between both buildings.
