REGINA — The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement and Saskatchewan Polytechnic have issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) to get the ball rolling on a new Skilled Trades and Technology building.
Using a design-build procurement model for its delivery, this is the first building planned as part of the new Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon campus.
The new facility will be built on a greenfield site, located at Innovation Place Saskatoon, adjacent to the University of Saskatchewan.
Qualified teams from the RFQ process will compete in the second stage for the design and construction of the trades building.
When it comes to progress, site preparation work began in September 2024 and includes the removal or upgrading of underground infrastructure, tree relocation and grading, states a release. That site prep is expected to be substantially complete in the spring.
Since 2022-23, the province has provided $16 million for the project. The 2024-25 provincial budget included $6 million for design and pre-procurement work of the new campus.
The Government of Saskatchewan also announced in September 2023 that it would commit up to $200 million toward the new campus, the release continues.
