• 10,000 cubic yards of concrete were used (augmented by 475,000 lbs of Boundary Dam fly ash)
• 650,000 Saskatchewan made bricks from Estevan cover 60% of the exterior surface.
• It was the tallest building in Saskatchewan when it opened, at 13 stories.
• The building is 180 feet high, 44 feet wide, and 270 feet long
• Because of its curved design the building is actually longer than the lot.
• 9 miles of blueprints were used.
• The head office contains 2,300 tons of structural steel.
• The building contains 135,000 squared feet of pre-cast concrete cellular floors, which accommodate electrical and telephone wiring.
• The building cost $6,400,000 to build.
• Construction of the building required 3,000,000 person-hours of labour.

Initially, the head office was to be a shared building between Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) and SaskPower, though, it was soon decided that STC would require a separate facility. Five different designs were sketched and modelled for the SaskPower head office, including a plan for a 27 story building.

While developing the design, Joseph Pettick travelled the world studying contemporary office buildings. His research took him to such places as New York, Paris, London, Chicago, Mexico, and Caracas. Ultimately though, it was the expressionistic architecture of Brasilia that would most influence his design. Pettick's final design, a "flowing Y" shape, was a departure from the rectilinear buildings of the International Style, which was dominant in contemporary architecture.

Pettick's design orients the front façade of the building to give north facing offices a view of Victoria Park, which sits diagonally across the street. Originally, these north facing offices were allocated to non-executive SaskPower employees, with executives occupying the less desirable south offices. Shortly after the building opened, however, the executives were moved into the spaces overlooking the park.

The "Y" design also accommodates a drive-through pay area, and avoids cars exiting onto busy Victoria Avenue, allowing them to drive through an underpass and exit onto a one-way street.

The head office building's exterior is covered with a wheat coloured brick, custom made in Estevan, Saskatchewan with clay from nearby Halbrite. A yellow and white glazed surface adorns the north façade, along with gold anodized window frames. These warm colours, along with a blue-green mosaic tile on the ground floor are intended to be chromatically in tune with the prairie environment. Honeycomb solar screens cover the south façade's windows, and are designed to eliminate heat and glare from direct sunlight.

The building's interior design was undertaken by Margaret Pettick (wife of Joseph Pettick), a graduate of the New York School of Design. Interior and exterior designs were unified through the evocation of Saskatchewan's landscape. Adorning the first floor lobby are blue, purple, and green mosaic tiles from Italy, which depict the colours of northern Saskatchewan.

The 13th floor auditorium is nicknamed "grasshopper belly" because of its curved plaster panels which evoke the inside of a grasshopper's abdomen. The original lighting design on the first and top floors was called "prairie ice". Inspired by the effect of ice covering a stubble field, Pettick invented this design by baking plastic over a bed of sculpted sand in his oven.
