[Dartmouth] Coast Guard Headquarters | ? m | 5 fl | Completed
DFO Minister Gail Shea will soon announce that a tender has been issued to design and construct a new Canadian Coast Guard regional headquarters building in Dartmouth at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. Construction is expected to begin in early 2010 with a completion date of summer 2011.
The new building will bring together Coast Guard Maritimes Region employees who are currently located at the CCG Base on Parker Street and the office on Portland Street in Dartmouth. This is one in a series of regional projects to support the planned divestiture of the Parker Street Base, which also involves the relocation of all fleet vessels to BIO.
I have heard from sources in the department that the building will be about 5 floors high and will be built to a LEED standard. The approximate location will be near: 1 Discovery Dr., Dartmouth, NS.
