Capital Projects
The Government of Alberta provides capital funding for the supported infrastructure of the 21 Public post-secondary institutions in Alberta as guided by the 20-Year Strategic Capital Plan. The types of infrastructure supported includes facilities for
- instruction
- research
- administration
Provincial funding supports expansion projects needed to increase student access and provincial research capacity, as well as preservation projects needed to maintain the existing buildings. Institutions also receive annual Infrastructure Maintenance Program grants toward maintaining and improving facility condition.
Provincial funding does not support facilities for revenue generating or ancillary services, such as parkades, student residences and staff residences.
In 2008 the public post-secondary system reported a total of 3.4 million square metres of supported infrastructure at 92 sites across the province.
