The smaller footprint of the brigade headquarters will also reduce stormwater runoff and save on stormwater management costs . The floor plan is based on the standard design of the "Operational Readiness Training Complex , " and extra space has been added to accommodate stairs and elevators to the second floor . According to Harrie , the smaller size of the brigade headquarters building plan reduces the amount of stormwater runoff and the need for stormwater management features , resulting in cost savings .
