CALGARY, Sept. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Imperial Oil announced today the plans to relocate its Calgary offices to a campus-style office complex in southeast Calgary to consolidate and support its growing operations.
The complex will be located on a 20-acre site in Quarry Park and will bring together Imperial staff from several downtown Calgary office locations. It will contain five low-rise office buildings with 800,000 total square feet of office space, support facilities, food service, wellness centre and other employee amenities.
"Imperial has embarked on a decade-long period of substantial growth and expansion. This new campus will provide an opportunity to consolidate our Calgary offices in one location, offer additional space for our growing workforce and provide a superior working environment for our people," said Paul Masschelin, senior vice-president of finance and administration for Imperial Oil. "The complex will be constructed to high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, and will promote new opportunities for employee collaboration in their daily work."
Employees will move in two phases, beginning in 2014. Full occupancy is expected in 2016.
Construction and ongoing operations will create hundreds of jobs, substantial provincial and local taxes and other significant benefits to the Alberta and Calgary-area economies.
