The project is divided into two (2) phases and will consist of renovations to the inside and the outside of the building. <br>  

This project considers GC priorities, including: <br> <br>

<br>

• <b>Leading standards:</b> 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  <br>

<b>Phase 1</b> (from 2018 to 2024) is already underway. It will address the interior workplace refit of the western towers C1, C2, D and B3, and common base building systems throughout the complex.

• <b>Accessible, inclusive:</b> making the PDP3 complex more accessible to be compliant with the Accessible Canada Act, including universal accessibility and Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) measures<br>

<br><br>

• <b>Indigenous partnership:</b> 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.<br>

<b>Phase 2</b>(from 2022 to 2027) will address the interior workplace refit eastern towers A1, A2, B1, B2 and E.

• <b>Jobs:</b> generating about 13,300 direct, indirect and induced person years of employment over the span of eight years.<br>

<br><br>

• <b>Commerce and community:</b> facilitating mobility, transit, and access to nearby businesses and municipal venues<br>

<b>Key milestones</b><br>  

• <b>Improved building operations:</b> 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.<br>

 

• <b>Financial:</b> providing a positive financial return on investment and portfolio savings.<br>

• Planning and design activities for the PDP3 AWR Project started in 2018  <br>

• Selective interior demolition work of the western towers began in 2019 and was completed in fall 2021<br>

• Construction activities started in early 2022 <br>

• The project is expected to be completed in 2027 <br>
