Government of Canada Building Construction in St. John's, NL
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is proposing the construction of a new Government of Canada Accommodations Facility (CRAAF) at 80 Kelsey Drive, St. John's, Newfoundland to consolidate Canada Revenue Agency's operations. The proposed building will be made of two three-storey wings that are linked together by a large corridor and will house a combination of office space, support space, an electrical/mechanical building, and a shipping and receiving area. A parking lot, new site landscaping, a footpath, and a controlled traffic intersection will also be included within the scope of work. The proposed site development also includes temporary diversion of the Leary's Brook stream to allow for the connection of a sanitary sewer.
