Modular school buildings include much more than just modular classroom buildings. The applications range across every building that an education provider might need. That can be large lecture theatres for students or specialist subject enviroments such as laboratories, music rooms and sports halls. And of course, modular school buildings can provide the perfect solution for toilets, showers and changing room requirements.
Modular school buildings covering the entire education spectrum - from small nurseries to entire secondary schools and specialist university and college facilities
At the heart of every school are the classrooms, where inspirational environments are created for the hard work of teaching and learning to begin. Modular classroom buildings, with climate control and bright natural light, offer all the modern comfort and space required to enhance the experience.
A modular classroom building is a pre-fabricated classroom that has been manufactured off site and then transported to its school location. It means that a fully fitted-out Portakabin modular classroom buildings can be installed and ready to use up to 70% faster than traditionally built classrooms. Off site construction of the modular classroom building means that the disruption and mess of construction is kept away from the school. Modular classroom buildings can be seamlessly joined together side-by-side or end-to end, as well as mounted to form multi-storey school complexes.
Do you need temporary school buildings, in response to an emergency, that maintain your excellent quality standards? Are you designing from the ground up and want the sustainability and speed of modular classroom buildings? You can trust Portakabin to deliver.
Many schools and colleges have benefitted from our one-stop-shop approach, giving them the ease of one point of contact all the way through the process. From planning and groundworks to exterior vinyl wraps and internal furniture, we offer classrooms that are considerably larger than average and exceed Department for Education (DfE) guidelines on classroom size. Portakabin can also deliver simple classrooms where space or budgets are tight; with school buildings for sale or hire, Portakabin can fulfil all your requirements.
All our modular school buildings whether they are temporary or permanent can be designed to meet permanent building regulations, including Part M, Equality Act, SENDA, Building Bulletins and BREEAM.
We’ve worked with schools across the UK for many years, giving us a clear insight into the best practice for creating inspiring learning environments. There are many ways that Portakabin solutions work for educational spaces.
Our priorities were speed, quality and cost efficiency and Portakabin has excelled in each area. We are delighted that the building was handed over on time and on budget in time for the start of the new academic year – and despite a very tight programme.
