Capital Projects
The Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) operates 135 schools throughout Halifax Regional Municipality. The quality of school facilities contributes to a safe and supportive learning environment for our students and has a direct affect on the ability to effectively offer the Public School Program.
In any given year, there are a number of major capital projects underway within the HRCE.
-
New school construction and major renovations are managed by the provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.
- Capital repair projects are managed by the HRCE Operations Services department.

Supporting Enrolment Growth
Enrolment in HRCE schools continues to grow. At some schools, this growth is causing capacity pressures. To support school communities, modular classroom additions will be constructed at three HRCE schools and six schools will receive portable classrooms during the summer of 2022. More information on each project can be found below:
