Project Description

This project involves renovating and upgrading training facilities on multiple campuses. At Canada Education Park, substantial renovations to Building 1034 are included. At Maple Ridge campus, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system will be upgraded and a four-storey rope rescue simulation apparatus will be installed. As well, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at New Westminster campus will be upgraded.

Primary Areas of Benefit

  1. Expands or enhances utility of training space: The 4-rope rescue tower provides essential training and experience for firefighters and enables fire rescue professionals to learn how to perform high-rise rescues from active buildings and buildings under construction. The project also provides space to continue delivering ongoing justice and public safety training programs.
  2. Improves energy efficiency: This project contributes towards meeting the institute’s emission reduction targets. Upgrading the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at two campuses reduces energy consumption and improves the training environment.
