Objectives and benefits
This project considers GC priorities, including:
• Leading standards: achieving enhanced Greening (LEED Gold) and greenhouse gas (GHGs) reductions (net zero carbon), this project will help reduce GHGs emissions by at least 24% compared to 2017 levels.
• Accessible, inclusive: making the PDP3 complex more accessible to be compliant with the Accessible Canada Act, including universal accessibility and Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) measures.
• Indigenous partnership: contributing toward advancing Indigenous relationships; the project includes an Indigenous Architecture firm that provides input as an integral part of designing the renewed building. The project presents Indigenous engagement and vendor participation opportunities, and cultural design inclusion.
• Jobs: generating about 13,300 direct, indirect and induced person years of employment over the span of eight years.
• Commerce and community: facilitating mobility, transit, and access to nearby businesses and municipal venues.
• Improved building operations: increasing the overall building performance, resulting in a reduction of operation and maintenance costs, thereby contributing to the effective and efficient management of the public real property portfolio.
• Financial: providing a positive financial return on investment and portfolio savings.
