In a joint news release issued Monday SaskTel and SGI say they are exploring the possibility of sharing a building for their head offices.

They say the head office buildings of both organizations are aging so they are collaborating on the evaluation of co-locating the two Crown corporations in SaskTel’s head office at 2121 Saskatchewan Drive in Regina.

They will also explore the necessary updates in order to accommodate both Crowns.

The head offices for SaskTel and SGI are 45 and 47 years old respectively.

In a news release SGI President and CEO Kent Campbell said, “Over the coming months, SaskTel and SGI will undertake validation activities, including engaging industry experts, exploring design requirements, completing technical assessments, and identifying project costs.”

Noting that both Crown corporations face similar challenges with aging facilities, SaskTel President and CEO Charlene Gavel said, “Our focus over the coming months will be on validating this opportunity and ensuring any recommendation we bring forward is supported by thorough analysis and due diligence.”
