KING CITY - The request for proposals stage has closed for shortlisted teams to submit bids to design, build and finance the Seneca College King Campus Phase 1 Expansion.

Following a fair, open and transparent request for qualifications process, shortlisted companies were invited to respond to the request for proposals in August 2015. Now that the stage has closed, Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Seneca will evaluate the proposals from EllisDon Corporation, PCL Constructors Canada Inc. and E2P Educational & Environmental Partnership over the next several months and select a winning bidder. The successful team and contract cost will be announced publicly following financial close in August 2016. Construction is scheduled to begin shortly thereafter.

Key project highlights include:

  • approximately 25 new classrooms, computer labs, specialty labs for training health-care practitioners, a library, learning commons and student study space
  • a new student area with a multi-purpose athletic and recreation space, gymnasium, fitness centre, informal study areas and event spaces, partially funded by the Seneca Student Federation and the Student Athletic Association
