Top benefits of modular education buildings
Rapid, cost-effective construction
Rapid expansion can be challenging for your educational establishment. That’s why we’ve developed fast modular solutions to meet your needs.
From a single unit to an entire extension, we can construct and deliver your modular units in a fraction of the time and with minimal disruption. In fact, our turnkey solutions can be delivered in days and be ready for use in as little as 8 weeks.
Not only is a modular solution quicker than a bricks-and-mortar construction, but it’s also more budget-friendly. Our modular classrooms are cost-effective when you need more space fast. We also offer hire and lease options and keep a large stock of units ready to go, making our modular classrooms an affordable temporary solution.
Powering education for effective learning
Our educational buildings are built to promote change. That’s why we’ve ended the days of cold and draughty prefabs. By powering an energy-efficiency revolution in schools, we’re helping you educate the next generation.
We know that a safe, comfortable learning environment is essential for children and young people. And this is why our modular solutions are fully equipped to create the ideal energy-efficient classroom or nursery, built to PassivClass standards and saving you money on your running costs.
Flexible, outside-the-box solutions
We don’t build boxes, we think outside them. It enables us to create flexible solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our portable modular units can go wherever you need them and are just as easy to repurpose.
Modular solutions with sustainability built in
From recycled construction materials to low waste construction practices, our modular buildings have sustainability built in. Our eco-friendly construction methods help you reduce your carbon footprint and meet your green targets.
If your resources are limited, our refurbished and used modular buildings could be the solution. They’re constructed to the same high standards and regularly safety checked, making them a sustainable choice.
Are modular buildings compliant with current educational building regulations?
There’s an outdated notion that modular classrooms are inferior compared to traditional construction methods. Educational spaces need to adhere to strict regulations, including:
- Fire safety
- Accessibility
- Health and safety
- Building design (such as classroom size and layout)
- Essential facilities (including toilets and washrooms)
We ensure all of our modular constructions comply with current educational building regulations, from structural safety to sustainability.
Cotaplan modular education buildings in action
At Cotaplan, we’re proud of our completed projects portfolio, which showcases our commitment to innovation, speed and flexibility:
St Albans Girls’ School’s modular dance studio: This turnkey solution utilised an energy-efficient, refurbished modular sports building, giving exceptional value for money. The fully inclusive package (including building control, foundations, design, and build) meant the dance studio was completed in three weeks from delivery.
Smallwood Primary School PassivClass: An additional classroom was urgently required, and was built from our stock of recycled components, reducing the cost. Built to exacting PassivHaus standards, the project was completed in 8 weeks.
Holy Family Primary School: 15 temporary classrooms, nursery accommodation, and admin facilities were required for an 18-month hire period. We provided an excellent temporary facility from stock, which was completed in 8 weeks and then returned to stock for refurbishment.
