The facility accommodates municipal operations for park services, public works, building maintenance and fleet services, and includes amenities like 12 truck bays, a 5 bay truck repair facility, shop facilities, a lunch room, staff lockers, administration offices and an extensive green roof. This is a LEED® Silver Candidate.

“Aquicon Construction excelled at project management and supervision for the successful construction of the Ajax Operation Centre, and were able to maintain the project schedule with minimal setbacks and changes in the project schedule. The Operations Centre Grand Opening was a major success and the Town and all of its residents are pleased and proud of their new state of the art facility.”
