Coordinates: 50°16′16.83″N 111°10′23.39″W / 50.2713417°N 111.1731639°W DRDC Suffield is a major Canadian military research facility located 5 km (3.1 mi) north of Suffield, Alberta and is one of seven centres making up Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC).
The research facility commenced operations on June 11, 1941 as a joint British/Canadian biological and chemical defence facility as the Experimental Station Suffield under the administration of the Canadian Army. By the end of the Second World War, the station employed 584 personnel trained in chemistry, physics, meteorology, mathematics, pharmacology, pathology, bacteriology, physiology, entomology, veterinary science, mechanical and chemical engineering. In 1946, the station was placed completely in the hands the Canadian Army when the British withdrew their support. The responsibility for administrating the station, including the Suffield Block, was transferred to the Defence Research Board on April 30, 1947 by Order in Council PC 101/1727. In August 1950, the station was renamed to the Suffield Experimental Station (SES). In July 1967, the Suffield Experimental Station was renamed to the Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES).
