The Story
The MDV Joint Venture, a collaboration between EllisDon and EBC Inc., along with JLP Architects and Stantec, has embarked on the design of the Fighter Squadron Facility (FSF) at 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec. Positioned in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, 3 Wing is designated as one of the primary bases for the deployment of Canada's future fighter aircraft.
Spanning an area exceeding 30,000 m², the Bagotville FSF is set to accommodate a range of functions essential to military readiness, including daily operations, aircraft upkeep, administrative tasks, strategic mission planning, and simulator-based training.
The project is being developed with sustainability at its core, aiming for LEED Silver certification. This reflects a commitment to energy efficiency and environmental design principles. The facility's blueprint includes an operational headquarters for military personnel, the latest in security and IT infrastructure, and support spaces crucial for the sustained maintenance and operational efficiency of the fleet.
The contract, executed under a Modified Design-Build model, allows for a dynamic and iterative design process between the Joint Venture and Defense Construction Canada (DCC), ensuring that the project meets precise standards and operational requirements.
