Summary

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) manages real estate for the Federal Government amounting to 6.7 million m2 of space. The green fit-up for 401 Burrard is an example of an organization taking incremental steps towards green design.

The fit-up featured the installation of several green flooring options including natural wood, bamboo, cork, linoleum, stained concrete, ceramic tiles, and recycled content, low-emission carpets. This allows PWGSC to test the performance of these materials over time, informing the design of future buildings.

The building is situated downtown, giving staff the option to take public transportation to work.
