OTTAWA, ON., March 2nd, 2008 - The Ottawa Business Journal has published an article highlighting Tiree’s project management contract award of the $1.19Billion West Block renovation project. The article also provides details of the planned phasing for the project as noted below;
Phase 1 involves the emergency stabilization of the towers; repairs and conservation of the exterior masonry; fit-up of alternate accommodations in the Sun Life Financial Centre (formerly the Clarica building), C.D. Howe, and La Promenade buildings for MPs and support services; and the permanent relocation of the food production facility for the Hill to a remote site.
Phase 2 involves more conference room relocations; asbestos abatement, interior demolition, and general rehabilitation of the building; and work to support legislative functions during the renovation of the Centre Block, including a courtyard in fill to accommodate chamber activities and construction of a security screening facility.
The current schedule calls for MPs and support staff to vacate the West Block in late 2009 or early 2010, with construction to start on the south wing of West Block shortly thereafter. Overall completion is scheduled for late 2019.
