Project Overview
Fortinet Technologies currently operates three 100,000 sq. ft. buildings in Burnaby, BC, which serve as the company’s Canadian headquarters and include corporate offices and product testing laboratories. As one of Fortinet’s key North American hubs, the Burnaby campus plays a critical role in supporting the company’s global operations.
MAKE Projects is currently providing Project Management services for a series of major upgrades across the campus. The scope includes an electrical power supply upgrade to all buildings, replacement of the air conditioning systems serving the testing laboratories, and a tenant improvement for head office staff located on the second level of one of the buildings.
These improvements will enhance energy efficiency, ensure adequate power capacity for expanding test operations, and create a modernized workspace that supports Fortinet’s continued growth and innovation.
