The Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon campus project is moving forward with a request for qualifications (RFQ) to procure a new skilled trades and technology building. The addition will help attract top talent to position the province as a global research leader.
The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement and Saskatchewan Polytechnic issued the RFQ, the first step in a two-step process to evaluate and pre-qualify professional service providers for the building.
Qualified teams from the RFQ process will compete in the second stage for the design and construction of the trades building—the first one planned as part of the new and consolidated campus in Saskatoon. The building will rise on a green field site, located at Innovation Place Saskatoon.
The new campus will transform an existing network of several decentralized, outdated buildings into a revitalized, modern, technology-rich learning environment for students and greater opportunities for applied research and investment.
“We have undertaken extensive consultation with faculty, students, the City of Saskatoon, and other key stakeholders, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s feedback,” said Saskatchewan Polytechnic President and CEO Dr. Larry Rosia. “This campus will lead the way in applied learning across Saskatchewan, enhancing the student experience and expanding our capacity for applied research and collaboration.”
Site preparation work began in September of 2024 and includes the removal or upgrading of underground infrastructure, tree relocation and grading. Site preparation is nearing completion, with substantial completion anticipated in the spring.
