Classrooms and campus buildings
In Alberta the province pays for modular classrooms and runs the projects: Alberta Education approves them and Alberta Infrastructure implements them. Budget 2026 commits $600 million over three years, and 2026/27 alone funds 194 new modular classrooms, 7 replacements and 35 relocations. Other public buyers in the Edmonton region, school boards, municipalities and health entities among them, post their opportunities on the Alberta Purchasing Connection.
For NAIT, the Edmonton polytechnic, Herauf built 14 dormitory buildings with 56 rooms, 3 classrooms and a food storage building for its Forest Technology field school at Kidney Lake, northwest of Whitecourt, installed on a remote bush site for a fixed September intake. It is written up at NAIT Kidney Lake.
How the provincial program works, and what its classroom standard asks for, is on modular classrooms in Alberta.
Site offices and camp buildings
For a lease, a camp or a construction site, the site buildings in the catalogue are built on steel skids with self-contained plumbing, electrical and HVAC, so they set on a gravel pad without a poured foundation and move when the work does:
- Site office, 40' × 18', with a kitchenette and lunch room.
- Safety office, 30' × 14', with two offices.
- On-site quarters, 42' × 14', a bedroom, an office and two washrooms.
Delivered in the region: a site office for Surge Energy at Wainwright and a food storage building for an oil and gas camp near Whitecourt. Sizes, skids and the specification are in modular site offices in Alberta, and crew housing is on workforce camp and site buildings. For the oil sands, see modular camp buildings in Fort McMurray.
Finished and staged at St. Paul
Herauf builds indoors at its Zehner, Saskatchewan and Enderby, BC plants. Alberta projects are finished and staged at its full-service yard in St. Paul, about 200 km northeast of Edmonton by road, and delivered from there. Because the building arrives finished, your site sees the crew for days rather than a season.
The facilities are listed on our locations page, and buyers screening a supplier can go straight to procurement and supplier information.
