Modular classrooms have long been used as added space for schools. Provincial funding, through Alberta Education’s Annual Modular Classroom Program, is provided for the addition of new or the relocation of existing modular classrooms to ease enrolment pressures in communities where school divisions are experiencing high student enrolment growth.
One third of RVS’ capacity is in modular classrooms – the equivalent of 405 classrooms.
