The premier and education minister have announced new schools for Calgary.
The nine new and replacement schools will house up to 7,550 students in all grades through out Calgary.
“We made a commitment to build new schools and we’re doing just that,” said Premier Redford. “This is about more than bricks and mortar — it’s about building strong communities so all our kids get the best possible start in life. By investing in schools today, we are investing in ourselves, and our province.”
Among the advanced features and systems the government says the building will have are large windows and ventilation systems that improve air quality and circulation.
“Calgary is a growing city and we need to ensure we build the schools today that Calgary will need for in the future,” said Education Minister Jeff Johnson. “These projects will support the need for more student spaces and bring Inspiring Education to life through enhanced programming and student engagement.”
The new schools across the province will cost $503 million over three years.
