National Defence Headquarters (Canada)
National Defence Headquarters
(
NDHQ
) consists of the military headquarters for the
Canadian Armed Forces
, as well as hosts the majority of the civilian
Department of National Defence
(DND) staff. Completed in 1974, it was originally built for
Transport Canada
until a plan for a new NDHQ in
LeBreton Flats
was cancelled. Transport Canada instead moved to the newly completed
Place de Ville
Tower C (1972). NDHQ actually comprises a collection of offices spread in buildings across the
National Capital Region
, although it is most commonly identified with the
Major-General George R Pearkes Building
at 101
Colonel By Drive
in
Ottawa
. By 2015, the various locations will begin to be consolidated at the
Carling Campus
on
Carling Avenue
.
