What are temporary and modular school buildings?
In a range of widths and lengths, they can be the perfect solution for covering a playground or quad space to provide additional usable cover. Our temporary structures are modular and can be erected quickly with or without a level cassette floor to suit the location and your needs.
Structures can be fitted with and without side walls, and to allow extra light, can be fitted with glazed window panels.
With good planning and through working with you and all relevant stake holders, we provide expertise at providing temporary education structures in challenging locations and are happy to look at all possibilities.
