Modular Buildings Useful for Permanent School Space Needs

In rapidly expanding suburban school districts and isolated rural areas, administrators are increasingly turning to the modular construction industry for solutions.  Thanks to the efficiencies of the industry, permanent education buildings are more quickly erected using the modular process.

Modular buildings are constructed in climate-controlled factories and installed on prepared sites.  Because the site and utility work occurs at the same time as the building is being constructed, modular construction is much faster and more efficient.  The speed with which modular buildings can be erected is a huge benefit to schools with pressing space needs.  Both temporary and permanent solutions for classroom, laboratory, office and other space shortages are possible with modular construction.

Structures are customizable and expandable, so this type of construction is an ideal solution for educational use.  Additional classroom space is easily added as student population grows.  Since final interior and exterior work is done on-site, there is a great deal of flexibility in interior uses.  School districts in Canada, England, the United States and many other countries value the ease of converting space to most-needed purposes. As an added benefit, buildings can be relocated, as space needs change.

Modular techniques are also more environmentally friendly than standard construction methods.  Less waste material is generated, and building materials are not exposed to outdoor elements during the construction phase.  Site preparation is much less extensive since a smaller footprint is created by the building process.  Mature landscaping can be preserved on campuses when administrators choose a modular building.

Permanent solutions are possible with modular structures.  Because the buildings are so adaptable, they are a viable choice for any school district facing space shortages.  With site preparation and factory construction happening concurrently, modular fabrication can save schools time, allowing the decision makers to focus on what matters most, providing our future generations with the education they need to succeed.
