New construction of a mixed-use development in Whitby, Ontario. Completed plans call for the construction of a 1,113-square-foot, one-story above grade educational facility.

Bio-Digester Building. Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology (the "Institution") continues to innovate and grow our Whitby campus, to support students who are cultivating, preparing, and serving food as part of the field-to-fork programming philosophy for which the college has become known. Currently the Whitby campus produces approximately 65 metric tons of food waste annually with limited ability for regeneration. The limited compost processes that do exist cannot provide adequate compost for the working farm. To address this, we are proposing the construction of the Centre for Organic Regeneration, a 600 square-foot facility that will allow us to close the field-to-fork-to-field loop by processing food waste from the Whitby campus and returning it to the earth, specifically the Weston Centre fields. The construction of the Centre for Organic Regeneration will take place at the Whitby campus located at 1610 Champlain Ave, Whitby, ON, as further described in the Deliverables and Associated Bid Documents. Once completed, the Centre for Organic Regeneration will assist Durham College in meeting several objectives that directly align with our sustainability values, including: - The introduction of compost programming into curriculum - Producing and selling compost - Reducing food waste by 90 per cent - Creating research opportunities Questions/Enquiries Due Date: October 4, 2022 at 3:00pm EST bid value not released for publication.
