What is a modular classroom?
Flexibility and efficiency are essential in the education sector. One innovation that meets these demands head-on is modular classrooms. Whether you’re a school administrator looking to accommodate growing student numbers or a business seeking a versatile learning space, modular classrooms offer a practical, cost-effective solution.
What is a modular classroom?
A modular classroom is a prefabricated building designed to be quickly deployed, relocated, and expanded based on the user’s needs. Unlike traditional construction, modular classrooms are manufactured in our in-house manufacturing facility and then assembled on location. This streamlined process dramatically reduces construction time, minimises disruption, and ensures consistent quality.
At Mar-Key Group, we specialise in designing, manufacturing, and building temporary structures for both commercial and event clients, and modular classrooms are a key part of what we offer. With years of experience in temporary construction, we understand the importance of creating adaptable spaces that serve educational institutions without compromising on comfort, safety, or style.
Benefits of modular classrooms
- Speed of delivery
Traditional school extensions can take months or even years to complete. A modular classroom can be delivered and ready for use in a matter of weeks, making it ideal for urgent space requirements.
- Cost-effective solutions
Modular construction reduces waste, labour costs, and delays associated with traditional building projects. This makes modular classrooms a budget-friendly choice for schools and educational providers.
- Customisable designs
From layout and size to interior fittings and energy efficiency features, modular classrooms can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the school or organisation. Whether you need a single classroom or a multi-room setup, we design and build to your exact specifications. Your new modular classroom can be designed to seamlessly sit with your existing buildings, blending in perfectly and being equipped with all your educational needs, you can look at one of our buildings we did here that was made to blend with the original buildings.
- Sustainability
The modular approach supports green building practices by using eco-friendly materials and reducing on-site waste. These classrooms are often more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than older, traditional brick and mortar buildings. A modular classroom can also be reused and relocated to another site, going with you as needs change, you can have a look at an example of this circular construction here.
- Minimal disruption
Because most of the construction happens in our manufacturing facility, there’s less noise, dust, and disruption for students and staff. This is especially important when installing classrooms during the academic year.
Who uses modular classrooms?
Modular classrooms are used by:
- Primary and secondary schools to accommodate fluctuating student populations.
- Colleges and universities for temporary learning spaces during renovations.
- Businesses offering in-house training sessions or educational programs. We installed a dance studio for one of our clients, creating a different need for a modular classroom rather than just typical teaching.
They are also ideal for emergency situations where rapid deployment of educational space is critical, such as after natural disasters or during large-scale refurbishment projects. We installed many temporary modular classrooms after the RAAC crisis, helping schools quickly get back to teaching, take a look here.
Modular classrooms for commercial clients
Our modular buildings aren’t just for schools. Commercial clients can benefit from modular classrooms as temporary training centers, conference rooms, or workshop spaces. With complete design, manufacture, and installation services under one roof, we provide a hassle-free solution from concept to completion.
