Demolition, site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a military facility; and for the construction of a 215,278-square-foot, two-story above grade 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, with incorporation of energy efficient systems and modern design strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support long-term operational resilience. Environmental stewardship and whole life asset performance are central to the delivery objectives. TIMELINE: An Advance Notice has been issued to notify the industry of the upcoming procurement process for this project. The delivery model is an integrated project delivery (IPD) model; 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. 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. There is an Indigenous businesses participation component, with the development of an Indigenous Benefits Plan (IBP) required in the IPD contract to outline sub-contracting opportunities for Indigenous Businesses and Peoples. The solicitation will proceed in Aug/Sept 2026. This is conditional on the contract receiving approval to proceed from DND.
