Ottawa science infrastructure construction project

Overview

The Canadian government has awarded a $768.6-million construction contract to PCL Construction Canada Inc. for the Regulatory and Security Science Main (RSS Main) project in Ottawa.

Part of the Laboratories Canada initiative, the project involves building a six-facility science campus on the existing Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) site. The campus is intended to house approximately 275 employees and support 25 science programs, fostering collaboration between researchers from the CFIA, the Canada Border Services Agency, Health Canada, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The infrastructure aims to bolster national security, emergency preparedness, food supply resilience, and public health capabilities. The development will utilize the Laboratories Canada Repeatable Laboratory Design Framework and seeks to incorporate Indigenous perspectives through collaboration with the Anishinàbe Algonquin Nation.
