The schools provide a flexible, modern environment for children to learn and grow, while at the same time meeting the education needs of the growing population and individual learning priorities. The schools are designed and construction as modern, technologically advanced learning facilities. Like the core school building, the modular classrooms are designed for improved health and comfort of students and teachers, wired to meet technology needs.
This school infrastructure project supports the province’s commitment to strengthen Alberta’s economic future and invest in families and fast-growing communities. The schools were designed and are maintained to inspire and support learning during the day while meeting diverse community needs for evening and weekend activities.
The layouts of the schools are designed so that high performance modular classrooms can be added and removed from the core building as needed to accommodate changing student enrolments. The permanent core building has the essential elements of a school including a gymnasium, library, administration offices and specialty teaching spaces for subjects such as music, art, science and career and technology studies. The schools were designed and constructed to achieve LEED silver certification. Four of the twelve schools exceeded the requirement and were LEED gold certified.
