Edmonton, Alberta, October 10, 2024 — Ten communities across Alberta will have upgraded and more accessible buildings after a combined investment of almost $18 million from the federal and provincial governments.

To ensure safer and longer-lasting working and public spaces, these projects will include replacing water lines and elevators and improving heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.

In Edmonton, the Queen Elizabeth II Building and the Alberta Legislature Building will receive upgrades for the air quality in those spaces. The courthouse and provincial building in Stony Plain will see upgrades to the HVAC systems including chillers, air handling units, supply and return air ducts and controls. The Drumheller Provincial Building will see upgrades to its existing ventilation system and supply and return air ducts.
