As Calgary’s multi-agency command centre, key personnel from the City’s business units and various external agencies work from the EOC to maintain city services throughout an emergency or natural disaster.
The facility is designed to operate as a self-contained facility for the critical first 72 hours of an emergency.The majority of the Centre is below ground, reducing the amount of above-grade building mass, increasing security and reducing heat requirements.
Certified LEED® Gold, the carbon footprint of the main structure was reduced by using concrete with high cement replacement by recycled materials and all structural steel and concrete reinforcing were specified to contain a high amount of recycled content.
