A Modular Building for Schools and Nurseries
If you’ve been wondering how to expand your school or nursery to accommodate growing class sizes, a modular building or classroom might be the most efficient way to provide a fast, efficient and beautiful new space for your nursery, play centre or preschool. Modular buildings for Schools and Nurseries are multifunctional rooms and can be the perfect art or creative space, reading room, staff room or sensory room.
The main benefits of building a circular modular building as opposed to a Brick and block built extension are:
Speed of Construction
Most prefabricated modular buildings come as pre-constructed panels (or sections) which are fitted together like flat-packed furniture, dramatically reducing the risk of weather delays and lengthy build time which ensures that you may be able to complete the install in 5-10days.
Energy-efficiency
Timber-framed buildings which are pre-fabricated to buildings regulations standards come with exceptionally high levels of insulation, argon filled double glazing and membranes to the internal and external wall linings. Furthermore, a circular modular building requires 30% fewer materials to build and acts as an energy-saving building throughout it’s lifetime (no corners for energy leakage!) but serves to illustrate how much more efficient the building in terms of materials requirement and embodied energy.
Less Disruption to your day to day activities
By investing in a building which arrives pre-fabricated, the majority of the fabrication and manufacturing is taken care of in a controlled factory environment away from your site. Your modular school classroom or eco-building can then be installed in as little as 5-10 days which can take place over a school holiday period eliminating any requirement for disruption to your usual working activities.
Cost Savings
A modular building is more efficient to build and to heat than traditional brick and block classroom and they come with a clear pricing structure which enables you to budget for your additional classroom without the worry of build-costs escalating on-site. Many builders will give a day 1 estimate or quote which can sometimes run out of control when lengthy delays and site complications arise. With a modular school building you can be rest assured that any build complications which arise with a prefabricated building will have already been addressed and ironed out prior to your building arriving on site.
Locally Sourced Timber
A few Modular Building manufacturers source their timber from within the UK for the buildings exterior which supports our British Woodlands and feeds much needed revenue into Woodland Regeneration Schemes. If your school or nursery is currently working towards incorporating Forest School teaching and are interested in outdoor and/or woodland education it’s reassuring to know that your new eco-classroom could assist you with explaining to children what type of trees we grow in the UK and how trees not only provide us with a beautiful habitat but how the timber from these trees can be used. (Larch turns a silvery colour over time – A beautiful example of nature changing).
So, consider the above benefits when contemplating how best to increase your available space at your School or Nursery and feel free to call us for an informal chat about whether a modular school building is a step in the right direction for you!
