The HIDI Group delivered commissioning for MDA Space’s new Global Headquarters and Centre of Excellence for Space Robotics located in Brampton, Ontario. This was a purpose-built facility by the Kaneff Group for its tenant MDA Space.

The MDA Space campus comprises a 127,000 ft² head office in the South building, 52,000 ft² of office space in the North building, and an 80,000 ft² research facility. This state-of-the-art facility includes ISO-certified cleanrooms, controlled-environment laboratories, secure material handling systems, automated manufacturing for specialized components, data centre R&D spaces, and areas dedicated to assembly, integration, testing, and quality assurance.

The campus features a diverse array of specialized laboratories designed to support cutting-edge research and development. These include cleanrooms built to ISO standards, electronics labs, chemical labs, thermal environment simulation chambers, vibration testing facilities, laser laboratories, solar simulation labs, and anti-gravity simulation environments. In addition to its technical spaces, the site houses a dedicated data centre and an isolated communications infrastructure to support secure government projects. To ensure uninterrupted operations in mission-critical environments, the facility is equipped with electrical redundancies, including multiple generators and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. This cutting-edge campus is home to the Canadarm3 and represents the future of space exploration robotics. It also features a dedicated Space Robotics Mission Control Centre, enabling MDA to support critical in-orbit operations for both commercial and government space missions.
