State-of-the-Art Security Building in Design Phase

A new 3,600 square foot security building is being designed at the port’s Terminal 3 after construction of new grain silos at United Grain Corporation forced the demolition of the previous security building in 2010.

With the expansion of the port’s operations and sheer acreage, the new port security headquarters will be designed as a state-of-the-art facility. Included in the upgraded security building will be expanded and centralized video surveillance that will cover the port’s new rail entrance, Terminal 5 and other areas where new rail service and maritime operations will take place.

The port has teamed with KPFF consulting engineers and BBL Architects to design and build the office space, which is on schedule to begin construction in June 2013 and be completed by 2014.
