SGI Head Office Decision Put on Hold

Released on May 15, 2014

Government has decided to postpone a decision on the relocation or renewal of the SGI head office building in Regina.

As a result, SGI has cancelled its Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new building, and will continue its head office operations from the current building at 2260-11th Avenue in Regina.

“The costs that were put forward in the RFPs came in higher than we as a government were prepared to commit to,” Minister responsible for SGI Donna Harpauer said.  “SGI is therefore not proceeding at this time.” 

An engineer’s report confirms the current building is structurally sound and safe.  There are some infrastructure and maintenance concerns that will need to be addressed at some point, but they are not safety-related.  There are no plans for an extensive renovation of the building.

“I have been assured that SGI can continue to use the building without needing to undertake any major upgrades, it is a safe building to work in,” Harpauer said.

A Request for Expressions of Interest for a new office space was issued by SGI in late 2012.  Four companies were then shortlisted to participate in the RFP process, with responses received in December 2013.  

SGI plans to revisit this issue within the next few years.

Approximately 1,000 employees work at SGI head office.
