Technology continues to reshape how education is delivered and experienced. These schools are designed to support evolving learning methods through smart classrooms, strong digital connectivity and building systems that can adapt to new technologies, hybrid learning models and changing classroom needs over time.
Alberta’s growing communities require learning environments that can adapt over time. Flexible layouts and adaptable building systems allow P3SB6 to respond to evolving enrolment patterns, educational practices and curriculum delivery, helping provide safe, high-quality environments for students, educators and families.
Schools play an important role in their communities beyond the classroom. The design of P3SB6 supports community use and reflects local identity and cultural diversity through inclusive multipurpose spaces that can accommodate cultural events, gathering areas and quiet spaces for smudging, reflection or prayer.

About the Alberta Schools Alternative Procurement III
In February 2026, Concert Infrastructure and its partners secured the contract to design, build, finance and maintain six new schools located in Calgary, Edmonton, Airdrie and Cochrane. The schools will accommodate approximately 5,310 students and help address growing enrolment pressures in these rapidly expanding communities:
Calgary: Kindergarten–Grade 4 school in Evanston
Edmonton: Kindergarten–Grade 9 school in Crystallina Nera East
Edmonton: Kindergarten–Grade 9 school in Hays Ridge
Edmonton: Kindergarten–Grade 9 school in Heritage Valley
Airdrie: Kindergarten–Grade 8 school in Bayview
Cochrane: Kindergarten–Grade 8 school
Delivered through a public-private partnership (P3) with the Government of Alberta, the project includes long-term maintenance under a 30-year project concession term that concludes in 2058. The schools are expected to be available for use by February 29, 2028.
