Good to see they are finally updating the Maint bays in Hfx. I worked my Res days at BEME and the "other" bldg while in 33 Svc Bn Maint. As well pto Aug'10 at TEME in Ancill.
I am curious, since its been almost 2 yrs since the last post here, is there any change in the satus of this project? Has it actually been to the next step yet?

They broke ground... WL 22 is all messed up now. Parking is across the road for the buses. So each "detail" is a pain in the rear. A lot of sections are moving across the harbour or in HQ.

The framing is mostly done, and the shops/office areas are wrapped in plastic so they can work through the winter. We are just going over the final details in the workshops to make sure everything is how we want it.

DCC says the turn over to DND should be Dec 6th 2013.
