The project site is located within Sturgeon County, Alberta at CFB Edmonton. The Edmonton CAF TC will provide support to all CAF members, regular and reserve forces, in Alberta. The Construct Transition Centre project will deliver new infrastructure to accommodate the CAF TG organization at 3 CDSB Edmonton in one centralized location. The project is intended to house approximately 72 personnel with an estimated total gross floor area of 1,912 m2. The facility will accommodate the staff of the CAF TU AB-North and TC at 3 CDSB Edmonton with identified workspaces, reception areas, as well as individual, group and specialized counselling and therapy spaces. This new infrastructure will enable the CAF TG to effectively administer, sufficiently support, and dutifully assist all transitioning CAF members in the region. This project will achieve Zero Carbon Building (Design and Performance) certifications as well as advanced commissioning requirements.
The project involves the construction of a steel-framed office-type building to be delivered as a complete and furnished facility. The building is being planned to achieve a net-zero energy performance objective, relying on fully electric building systems and on-site renewable energy generation.
Space heating will be provided by an air-source heat pump system, and the electrical scope will include lighting, power, building controls, and roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels to support the net-zero target. The building program will include typical office spaces such as enclosed offices, open work areas, meeting rooms, washrooms, and support spaces, with washrooms to be fully outfitted with fixtures and accessories.
The scope will include all work required to deliver a fully operational office building and outside landscaping in compliance with applicable codes, energy performance requirements, and owner standards. Further technical and performance requirements will be provided in the formal tender documents.
