largest public investments in Canadian science and technology. The new facility will span roughly 10,000 square metres and include dozens of specialized laboratories, advanced hot cells, and state-of-the-art infrastructure to enable postirradiation examination of nuclear materials. It replaces several aging research buildings that date back to the mid-20th century, consolidating their functions into a single, purpose-built complex that meets today’s rigorous technical standards. This modernization will not only improve efficiency but also advance Canada’s nuclear research capabilities well into the future. LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The ANMRC is delivering economic benefits across several fronts. In the short term, construction and procurement activities have generated significant local employment and investment. The project is being managed through an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model—a collaborative approach involving partners such as Bird Construction Inc., Chandos Construction Inc., and M. Sullivan & Son Limited—under a unified agreement that promotes cost control and schedule reliability while keeping Canadian firms and workers central to delivery. 120 NOV 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
