ATCO believes that the school is more than just a building. We believe that schools are the heartbeat of any community and act as the social and cultural hub. Schools need to have the ability to grow, shrink, and evolve in line with the community.
The average child spends over 15,000 hours inside a school by the time they graduate, second only to time spent in their home. Our youth need every opportunity to succeed and that begins with a healthy learning environment. Providing students with well-lit, comfortable, and quiet learning environments leads to improved academic results.
We seamlessly integrate traditional core school construction with our classrooms to provide schools with a healthier atmosphere that is more conducive to learning. Explore the unique, progressive learning spaces we create that keep students comfortable and engaged.
Prefabricated school buildings can be designed in various layouts to create learning environments that align with the education programs you offer.
We recognise that education facilities are learning environments, not construction sites. Building modules off-site in a quality-controlled facility reduces school interruptions.
Manufacturing commences before the site is ready. Site preparation occurs concurrently delivering your new learning spaces sooner.
Materials and Fabrics used in modular buildings are the same as those used in traditional construction. With the added benefit of building in an indoor, quality-controlled environment this results in delivering quality finishes and workmanship.
Modular buildings can be relocated, providing you the ability to address short-term needs without significant impact to the school surroundings.
Traditional civil and earthworks challenges are reduced when working on hillsides, creating more options for usable land.
The modular construction methodology results in ease of access to services & layout reconfiguration, enabling you to keep up with current trends in learning environment layouts and use of technologies.

Fitted with the latest technology including smart boards and solar power, the Ehpewapahk Alternative School will be the launching pad for students in the Ermineskin Cree Nation heading out into the world to make their mark.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional territories and homelands on which many of our ATCO operations and facilities are located. We honour and respect the diverse history, languages, ceremonies, and culture of the Indigenous Peoples who call these areas home.
