“The original tower was built in 1950, significant renovations in 1987 so it’s time to modernize,” said Ray Bohn, president and CEO of Nav Canada.
Nav Canada will be footing the bill, and won't disclose the cost.
The Victoria Airport Authority will be providing the land, located on the opposite side of the airport grounds from where the current tower sits.
“It will give the tower and the air traffic controllers a view of the entire airfield as well as the Patricia Bay floatplane base,”said Elizabeth Brown, president and CEO of the Victoria Airport Authority.
As YYJ has developed over the years, a few buildings have popped-up impeding the current towers' view of the entire airfield. Video cameras are being used as a work around. The new location will fix that issue.
The new tower will be the first of its kind in Canada, built to LEED-certified standards.
