New Builds & Modernizations

Each year, Alberta Education reviews CBE' link and decides which projects to fund and at what stage. The CBE works closely with Alberta Infrastructure, The City of Calgary and the development industry throughout the school building process.

Once construction begins, we share regular updates through the . As a new school nears completion, families impacted by the opening will start receiving more detailed information. All updates are posted on our website and individual project pages.

On average it takes 3-4 years to deliver elementary and middle schools and 4-5 years to deliver a high school.

Capital investment into existing schools can take many different forms (project types) as follows:

• Addition to existing school: provides additional permanent space for schools that are undersized for the needs of the community it serves.
• Modernization of an existing school: provides for the renovation of a whole or part of a school building for both present and future educational programs.
• Replacement of an existing school: occurs when a school building’s condition has deteriorated sufficiently, and it becomes more economical to replace the school with a new facility.
• Solution: provides an integrated solution where to meet the project delivery objective, more than one school facility will require construction activity.
