School Infrastructure
Alberta’s more than 1,500 school buildings provide the learning environment for nearly 600,000 ECS-12 students. It is here that students are developing into the leaders of tomorrow, with the support of our excellent teachers and school staffs. That’s why investment in school facilities is a priority for the Government of Alberta.
In addition to the $550 million to support 35 new schools and modernization projects, government is investing nearly $702 million in capital support for schools in its 2011-14 Provincial Capital Plan.
As we build, maintain and modernize our schools, Alberta Education is also continuing to develop more effective and innovative approaches to planning, managing and investing in school infrastructure, in order to ensure that our facilities meet the needs of Alberta’s growing student population and changing educational landscape.
