The abatement and decommissioning work on the official residence of the prime minister is scheduled to be completed this summer, while officials continue to decide the future of the property. Photos posted on the NCC's website show the work completed inside 24 Sussex Drive, with the flooring, plaster, and mechanical and electrical systems removed.
In January, NCC CEO Tobi Nussbaum told the NCC's board of directors that abatement and decommissioning work was scheduled to be completed by early February, with temporary mechanical and electrical system work to be finished for the summer.
The $4.3 million project to decommission 24 Sussex Drive includes removing and storing the "heritage fabric, such as doors and mouldings," abatement of asbestos and removal of "obsolete mechanical, heating and electrical systems," according to the NCC.
