government office
Administrative premises used by government institutions, including ministries, military offices, and service administration.
Government offices are spaces used by government institutions for administrative purposes.
The institution uses the space to perform administrative work. Government ownership of a building alone does not establish this office use; the work undertaken in the premises does.
A government ministry identifies a high-level department, while government services identifies offices administering or providing services. A military office is distinguished by the military institution whose administration it houses.
