Demolition, site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 20,000-square-foot military facility; and 20,000-square-foot medical facility.

The Department of National Defence (DND) is planning the design and construction of a new combined Health Services Centre (HSC) and Transition Centre (TC) at Windsor Park, Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Halifax, Nova Scotia. The existing HSC and TC currently occupy aging facilities that have reached the end of their operational life and require full replacement. The new purpose-built facility will have an estimated gross floor area of 20,000 m2 and will accommodate 361 HSC personnel and 52 TC personnel. The project will also include the demolition and replacement of selected site infrastructure. Sustainability will be a significant consideration in the planning and development of the new facility. The project is expected to incorporate energy efficient systems and modern design strategies that contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and long-term operational resilience. Environmental stewardship and whole life asset performance will be central to the project’s delivery objectives. The delivery model of the project is an integrated project delivery (IPD) model, the services to be procured may include design of the facilities and supporting infrastructure, construction of the facilities and supporting infrastructure as well as demolition and replacement of selected site infrastructure. TIMELINE: An Advance Procurement Notice has been issued to notify the industry of the upcoming design and construction procurement process for this project in Spring 2026. The purpose of this APN is to allow contractors and consultants to assess their capacity and interest in participating, and to prepare adequately for the potential solicitation process, notably by initiating any necessary steps. The procurement will evaluate a collaborative project delivery team including prime constructor and multi-disciplinary design and engineering capability which may include architecture; civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering; communications; energy management and sustainability. The estimated cost of the proposed Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Contract is expected to be in the range of $250 Million to $375 Million.
