LANGFORD, B.C. — The province is building a new secondary school in Langford that will create 2,000 spaces.

The new school will meet high environmental standards, states a release, and create a supportive space for student learning and well-being.

It will include:

• modern science and computer labs;
• a new gym;
• a theatre for drama, music, presentations and the arts;
• efficient electrical systems and an energy-saving design that will produce about 91 per cent fewer carbon emissions than a typical LEED gold-standard building; and
• a parking lot that includes EV-ready spots.

The province is investing nearly $220 million to build the new secondary school, with construction expected to start in 2027.
