Public Works & Government Services Canada is seeking an architectural firm to act as Prime Consultant with a multi-disciplinary team to deliver pre-design/functional programming and schematic services for a Northern Innovation Centre located at the Inuvik Satellite Station Facility in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The consultant must investigate options for accommodating Natural Resources Canada’s program in a modular building versus typical northern construction, develop conceptual schematic options and a Class C cost estimate to support early project approval and viability assessment for an approximately 1,277 m² multi-use modular facility (supporting areas to be proposed by the Prime Consultant). Scope is limited to NRCan program requirements only, with future stakeholder participation or expansion to be considered separately; project stakeholder requirements are detailed in the Terms of Reference. Late submissions will not be considered or accepted.

This could be ideal for architectural firms able to act as Prime Consultant with a multi-disciplinary team and capable of delivering Pre-design/Functional Programming and Schematic services for an ~1,277 m² facility. Key considerations include the remote Arctic site (ISSF is approximately 200 km north of the Arctic Circle), the need to compare modular versus typical northern construction approaches, producing a Class C cost estimate and conceptual schematics within NRCan’s program-only scope, and the strict rule that late submissions will not be accepted.
