How can modular buildings support education?

Educational facilities are a priority in today’s world. The need to develop centres of excellence has never been higher. Yet, many educational construction projects are delayed due to budget issues, safety concerns, or potential disruptions.

By constructing your educational buildings off-site, Cotaplan offers a modern solution to the problem. There is no risk to safety and well-being, and your classrooms, labs, and nursery facilities are delivered ready for use. We provide a complete turnkey solution that’s both functional and cost-effective.

Modular education buildings are a fast-track solution to meet your needs. At Cotaplan, we work across the UK to construct educational classrooms or buildings with a fast turnaround and minimal disruption.

If you’re planning an extension to your nurseryschoolcollege or university, we have the knowledge and expertise to create the ideal modular solution.

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There’s an outdated notion that modular classrooms are inferior compared to traditional construction methods.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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

What is the longevity and durability of modular buildings?

Our modular education buildings are built to last, pushing the envelope in terms of style, design, materials, and construction methods that rival and exceed traditional brick-and-mortar facilities. It’s common for modular buildings to last for upwards of 50 years, making them a desirable, high-quality choice for your establishment.

Yes, we can. At Cotaplan, we offer a complete design and build process, including a free survey and design service, as well as free planning applications and building applications, for your peace of mind.

It’s a decision that depends on your needs and budget. Used or refurbished buildings can be a great choice when resources are squeezed or you need a temporary classroom in a hurry. We hold a large stock of ready-to-go modular classrooms, so contact us today to discuss your requirements.

Some school buildings are grade II listed and to have permission to build an extension onto these buildings may be difficult to acquire. Mobile classrooms are therefore the ideal solution. They can be positioned where you want, equipped with all necessary facilities and rooms and can even be added to or moved at a later date.
