New Modular Classroom Block at Thorpe School, Norfolk

October 14, 2024

Back to blog

One of the latest projects Cotaplan have completed was the design and build of a fully refurbished modular classroom block at Thorpe School in Norfolk. This was part of a wider school development plan, and Cotaplan provided a full turnkey package that ensured a smooth, efficient process, with minimal disruption to the school’s day-to-day activities.

We understand the importance of maintaining a calm and uninterrupted learning environment, especially in educational settings where disruption can hinder both students and teachers. Because our modular classrooms are built off-site in our controlled manufacturing facility, we were able to complete much of the construction process ahead of schedule, limiting on-site activity to just 6 weeks. This swift timeline allowed the school to proceed with additional external works, such as extensive resurfacing, over the half-term break without any delays.

Health and Safety Standards: A Top Priority

Health and safety were paramount throughout the project. The modular nature of the build meant fewer deliveries and less on-site machinery were required, reducing hazards and keeping the school’s grounds safe for students and staff while classes continued. Cotaplan’s experienced project management team maintained rigorous H&S protocols, ensuring that all work was conducted to the highest standards and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.

Modular Classrooms: The Sustainable and Flexible Choice

One of the key benefits of choosing modular buildings for educational purposes is their flexibility. Not only do they offer a quick, cost-effective solution, but they can also be relocated or expanded upon to meet future needs.

In addition to their portability, modular classrooms are also highly sustainable. We focus on using eco-friendly materials and building methods that minimise waste, ensuring that our modular solutions are as environmentally friendly as they are functional.

Modular Classrooms provided by Cotaplan are designed with a bespoke layout that can include spacious classrooms, cloakrooms, storage areas, and accessible facilities. We work to ensure that the classrooms not only meet the functional needs of a school but also provide an inviting and comfortable learning environment for both students and staff.
