PSPC - SPIB, Laboratories Canada - Mississauga Project

Mississauga, ON

The Laboratories Canada Mississauga Project involved a vertical expansion and modernization of existing laboratory facilities to support cutting-edge research. The facilities now provide nearly 67,000 square feet of research space for the Government of Canada. Benefiting the scientific community and local economy, the project achieved LEED Gold certification, exceeding sustainability targets with geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, and a green roof. These features reduce the building’s environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier environment. The upgraded laboratories enhance research capabilities and demonstrate engineering excellence through innovative solutions and meticulous planning. This project exemplifies how engineering and design can support a client’s vision of creating a sustainable future.

This project sets a new benchmark for sustainable federal infrastructure and serves as a model for future Labs Canada initiatives. By exceeding its LEED Silver target to achieve Gold, as well as integrating geothermal, solar, and advanced lab systems, it demonstrates how ambitious environmental goals can be met. Stakeholder engagement further strengthened its replicability and long-term impact.

This project has won an additional award, the Breton Environmental Stewardship Award. Hear what the Jury Chair had to say about this project.
