Construction of Training Accommodation Facility - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which involves the construction of a new purpose-built facility to ensure that a modern standard of Training Accommodations is provided for the Junior Non-Commissioned Members undergoing trade/skills and other training at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. The proposed facility will include 482 single occupancy bedrooms, a Dining and Galley to serve up to 700 people, flexible breakout training spaces, administrative areas and minor auxiliary functions (ie, mailroom, coffee outlet, etc.). Project includes the demolition of current 65+ year old accommodation building, Nelles Block. The new facility will incorporate technologies to meet both departmental and federal environmental guidelines, such as LEED's Silver certification and net zero carbon emissions.
