The Ontario Government building at 300 Water Street in Peterborough is one of more than 5,000 facilities managed by IO on behalf of the government. Known locally as “Robinson Place”, the seven-storey provincial accommodates more than 1000 government employees, representing seven ministries. It's the provincial headquarters for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
The 300 Water Street project involved upgrades and conversions of building systems. The building has been designated as LEED EBOM* Platinum by the Green Building Council of Canada. It was Canada's first existing government building to achieve this designation.
*LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and EBOM refers to its designation in the category of Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance.
IO takes a leadership role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in each of its buildings to reduce the government's carbon footprint and create a cleaner, greener future for our province.
The pursuit of LEED Platinum for this existing facility is an innovative approach that forms the basis of a pilot project for IO. This experience will provide us with valuable information to consider opportunities for further greening of the government portfolio.
