Georgette Cottin-Euziol, a French-born architect who took Algerian nationality in 1964, led a large state construction programme in Kabylia between 1968 and 1975, building schools, a theatre, a teacher-training college and this prefecture — the administrative seat of the newly created wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou — among some fifteen commissions in the province. The published finding aid for her papers names the prefecture directly but does not fix a completion year within that span; only the programme's overall 1968–1975 window is attested. The building is a reinforced-concrete office block faced in banded orange-and-cream render, its window bays set in a regular grid behind a projecting stair-tower volume, standing on Avenue de la Victoire in central Tizi-Ouzou. It remains in use as the wilaya's headquarters. No Wikidata item exists for the building itself, and Cottin-Euziol's own item carries no linked works — this entry is assembled instead from the finding aid for her archive and from biographical dictionaries.
