Government of Canada Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards Section A: General-purpose Office Space A2. Approvals and Governance Changes Since the Last Update A2.4 Submission Requirements �� Clarification on the requirement for a third party Threat and Risk Assessment for business case justifications based on security. A2.1 Compliance with the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards The Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards are supported by Treasury Board Secretariat and PWGSC at all management levels with the application and enforcement of a rigorous system of implementation. It is the responsibility of both PWGSC and client departments to work within the Standards. Non-compliance Client requests that would result in a fit-up of either higher or lower quality or that otherwise would create non-standard office accommodation will be considered non-compliant. All non-compliance is subject to the approval process. Common Sense and Best Value for Canadians The Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards are the baseline for the identification of non-compliance; however, there can never be a substitute for sound judgment and common sense. The project team must use the Standards wisely and question the validity of each of its components against the problem at hand. An overall advantage to the taxpayer and the Crown takes precedence over benefits to a particular client and these Standards. However, minor adjustments to the approach or to the typical provisions included in the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards that can benefit the client without having adverse impact on the planning principles, project quality or cost, may be considered. For example, in certain situations, coat storage may be more appropriate and useful to the client than cabinet storage in a shared equipment area, and an exchange of these fit-up components is deemed acceptable.

Government of Canada Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards Section A: General-purpose Office Space Also, if a space is leased “as is”, but the hard walled spaces are not sized according to the Standard (larger or smaller) or the number exceeds the allocation, it may not demonstrate sound judgment or sustainability (economic or environmental) to “right size” or demolish the spaces. In such cases, hard walled office spaces in excess of the standard allocations could be used to accommodate two or more workstations. Similarly, modifications to the Standard may have to be considered to allow for specific requirements of heritage buildings. Note: The project team must document any decisions made (including justification for audit purposes) before proceeding with implementation. (Refer to A2.2 for further information on compliance monitoring.) Approval Authorities for Non-compliance with the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards The Accommodation Standards Committee (ASC) has been established in PWGSC to help ensure a disciplined, objective, and consistent approach to decision-making, monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards. The ASC evaluates all requests from departments and agencies for exemptions from the Space Allocation Standards and the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards, and prepares a recommendation to the ADM, Real Property Branch (RPB). The ADM, RPB, has the authority for approval of requests for non-compliance with the Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards. In client departments and agencies, it is recommended that a comparable level of authority be identified to approve the department’s or agency’s justified requests for non-compliance, to approve the funding, and to accept accountability for the decisions and any project delays, if applicable.
