Fit-For-Purpose Learning Environments: Prefabricated Mobile Classrooms

We’ve said it before and stand by the fact that having the right learning environment for pupils is critical. Whether that’s children in a nursery where safety features are paramount, all the way through to further education where fittings for the most up-to-date technology are included, alongside the need for SEN educational establishments to have everything possible to ensure enhanced learning and development. In this article, we look at how prefabricated school buildings are a fantastic choice for your school.

What Is A Prefabricated Building?

Prefabricated buildings consist of factory-manufactured components that are transported to and then assembled on-site. They differ from modular buildings because they are generally complete rather than individual units.

Why Have A Prefabricated Mobile Classroom?

When it comes to your school, our focus lies on three main factors:

• Fast turnaround times: Most of our prefabricated construction work is completed off-site, drastically reducing manufacturing time compared with traditional builds. We can deliver your mobile classroom in just a few weeks if needs be, whether this is a hire or purchase agreement.
• Lower costs: Our off-site methods mean that costs for our classrooms are much cheaper than traditional builds.
• Less disruption:  We will only need to be on-site for a matter of days to install your buildings – limiting disruption to your pupils.

Our prefabricated buildings, in particular, have a distinct benefit; they are incredibly flexible. The size, number of levels, finish, and interior specifications of your prefabricated building are all easily adaptable. You can even add modules later so your building can grow with your company.

Our prefabricated buildings are also environmentally friendly. Fewer on-site deliveries coupled with off-site manufacturing means we work efficiently and can maintain more sustainable working methods. Our buildings’ quality and efficient energy consumption also help keep costs down during the buildings’ lifetime.

A key takeaway is that prefabricated mobile classrooms are a sustainable and cost-effective option that minimises on-site disruption, allowing your pupils to continue their learning without interruption.

Are Prefabricated Mobile Classrooms Bespoke?

Just because they are a quick, flexible and lower-cost alternative to a traditional build, this doesn’t mean that the range of finishing options to make your building bespoke aren’t top-quality. The types of internal and external finishes we provide mean you can make both the interior and exterior of your building meet your exact requirements. These include:

• Cladding
• Windows
• Roofing and fascia options
• Internal safety features for children

Prefabricated mobile classrooms shouldn’t just function as a learning space; they should be adaptable, allowing you to have specialist facilities and open-plan spaces that are tailored to your specific needs. Simply let us know what you need, and we will look to create your required space.
