Edmonton, Alberta-based Clark Builders is back in the classroom with a CA$124 million ($91.1 million) contract to build a new high school in British Columbia, Canada.
New York City-based parent company Turner Construction announced Clark won a design-build contract for the new George Pringle Secondary School to the City of West Kelowna in a news release. Clark snagged the project through a competitive bidding process with Central Okanagan Public Schools.
The project is another feather in Clark’s education portfolio, which serves institutional, commercial and industrial clients in Western and Northern Canada. Last year, the company teamed up with Turner to build a $54.5 million solid wood student housing at the University of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia.
The school will be built with greenhouse gas and energy reduction strategies achieved through a sustainable geoexchange system for heating and cooling. Energy efficient design features also include heat recovery, building automation and lighting control, and incorporates solid wood components.
The school will house 1,200 students, Turner said, and is scheduled to open for the September 2027 school year.
