Preconstruction Lead Selected for Proposed NorQuest College’s Career Skills Centre

Clark Builders has been selected to lead preconstruction services for the proposed NorQuest College’s Career Skills Centre, a landmark facility that will help prepare learners for Alberta, Canada’s evolving workforce.

In close collaboration with NorQuest College and GEC Architecture, the project team is actively advancing the design, planning and costing required to bring this bold vision closer to construction.

Located in downtown Edmonton, the new Career Skills Centre will become a dynamic and inclusive learning hub. It will bring together modern training environments for healthcare, business and technology programs, while significantly expanding NorQuest’s capacity to deliver hands-on, future-ready education.

Designed as a living lab for applied learning, the Centre will feature classrooms, labs and collaboration spaces that promote real-world experience and community connection. Sustainability and accessibility are key pillars of the design, with the facility targeting both LEED Silver certification and Rick Hansen Foundation accessibility certification.
