Nova Scotia Education System School Capital Plan
The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s multi-year capital plan will see investments made in building new schools, making major renovations to existing schools and purchasing P3 schools in communities throughout the province over the next several years.
These infrastructure projects add to new schools being built and major renovations to existing schools that are currently underway. Government continues to make investments to ensure students have modern facilities designed with their program needs in mind.
