Profile

The location was originally built for the Bank of Canada in 1966 to store gold bullion. The Bank of Canada occupied large parts of the building until 1997, and the vault is now used to house the critical IT infrastructures of several businesses.

This cool, dry area is the protected by 22? thick steel reinforced concrete - providing some serious physical protection. Taking it to the next level; the space was also constructed utilizing a room-in-room design, which is essentially a concrete room inside a concrete room. There's just enough space for a person to walk the perimeter of the inside room, which gives employees the space they need to monitor the condition of the structure.
