    FHBRO HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT BUILDING 21, 17 WING, CFB WINNIPEG FHBRO number: 96-75 DFRP number: 12579 Resource name: Building 21, Drill Hall Address: 17 Wing, CFB Winnipeg North, Winnipeg, Manitoba FHBRO status: “Recognized” Federal Heritage Building Construction: 1941 Designer: Department of National Defence Original function : drill hall Current function: drill hall and gymnasium Modifications: new exterior sheathing, windows, doors and roof; new interior partitions Custodian: Department of National Defence Reasons for Designation Building 21 is a “Recognized” Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values: Historical value: Building 21 is associated with history of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), under which 130,000 aircrew members were trained at 107 BCATP schools in Canada during the Second World War. Winnipeg was one of the major centres for the BCATP program. Building 21, erected as a drill hall, was one of more than 1800 BCATP buildings erected across Canada. BCATP buildings at Winnipeg were later transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and became part of the training facilities for observer training and air navigation. Architectural value: Building 21 is a good example of a standard military design in the 1940s rising almost four stories. It was constructed according to a standard design for Second World War drill halls and hangars. A large interior space for the drill floor is flanked on either side by lean-tos to accommodate ancillary functions. The design made use of available materials and cheap, fast construction methods, in the face of wartime restrictions. Environmental value: Building 21 reinforces the airfield character of the setting and is located on a large, open site, in the southeast corner of CFB Winnipeg, along the eastern perimeter of the airfield.
