Requirements

Solution
To meet the exacting standards of the Department of Education, Portakabin custom designed 17 of its Ultima modules to meet new performance targets. At 3.6m wide and 18.75m long, each module achieves better thermal performance and natural ventilation, and its large windows offer maximised daylight for an
improved teaching and learning environment for both pupils and teachers.Portakabin was able to design and build a full turnkey package including a commercial spec kitchen, MUGA area, external pitch area and car parking with EV charging bays.
This has involved great teamwork between the Department for Education, Worcester Children First, Portakabin and our own team. Working with Portakabin has been a dream. Their professionalism and communication have been first class which has enabled the building to have been completed and handed over before the set date. This provision is a facility that is desperately needed within Worcestershire, and everyone is so excited to see it opening in September and the team are raring to go.
