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.
