About Us

We are pleased to announce that on 28 September 2020, MDV JV was awarded a contract to design the Fighter Squadron Facility (FSF) at 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec. Our joint venture is partnership between EllisDon and EBC, working with JLP Architects and Stantec. Located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, 3 Wing is one of two major bases of operations for Canada's future fighter aircraft.

The Bagotville FSF will cover over 30,000 m2. This facility will provide space for daily operations, aircraft maintenance, administration, mission planning, and simulator training.

The new fighter squadron building and facilities will be designed and constructed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standard and will incorporate energy-efficient options wherever possible. Construction is expected to begin in 2024.

The facility will include operational headquarters for personnel, state-of-the-art security, training and information technology (“IT”), as well as support spaces that will ensure long-term maintenance and operational capabilities. This contract, under a consortium between EllisDon and EBC Inc. will be carried out in Modified Design-Build mode, which combines the advantages of the design-build mode while allowing a more iterative process between the design-builder and the client.
