Construction of Training Accommodation Facility - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which involves the construction of a new purpose-built facility to ensure that a modern standard of Training Accommodations is provided for the Junior Non-Commissioned Members undergoing trade/skills and other training at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. The proposed facility will include 482 single occupancy bedrooms, a Dining and Galley to serve up to 700 people, flexible breakout training spaces, administrative areas and minor auxiliary functions (ie, mailroom, coffee outlet, etc.).
