850 seats to open in Langley, Abbotsford as new classrooms begin construction in B.C.
LANGLEY — Fraser Valley schools may soon be able to welcome more students as the B.C. government builds new classrooms across the province.
Abbotsford Middle School is set to receive eight prefabricated classrooms, which will add 200 seats to the local school district. The Langley School District is due to receive hundreds more– with 300 new high-school seats and roughly 350 elementary spaces, including a new school in Latimer.
“Capital projects, such as the addition at Langley Secondary school, ongoing modular expansions, and the new site acquisition in the southwest Latimer neighbourhood, are critical steps in helping to relieve the enrolment pressures in our fast-growing school district,” said Candy Ashdown, chair of the Langley school board. “We know our students, staff and families will benefit now and in the future.”
The Province has invested roughly $340 million into dozens of new K-12 classrooms since the beginning of 2025. To keep up with the fast-growing demand, the government has been using prefabricated classrooms and asking school districts to repeat existing school designs.
