If you need to create an entire school building, Portakabin can design and supply everything you need to maintain an inspiring learning environment for your pupils.
Crucially, your new school buildings can be up and running in a fraction of the time that you’d expect with a traditional build programme, with the least possible disruption to school life. That’s whether your buildings are an interim solution during building and refurbishment works or a permanent school building designed to the latest education best-practice principles.
School buildings designed to maximise learning potential
We aim to provide spaces that help with pupil engagement through clever design.
- Lighting - We encourage the use of floor-to-ceiling, double glazed windows which maximise natural light
- Air quality - Independent air-permeability tests have shown that our buildings perform up to 70% better than traditionally constructed buildings
- Room temperature - Air pressure tests carried out on a range of completed buildings, in accordance with Building Regulations Part L2A, have demonstrated that steel-framed modular technology can achieve a higher degree of precision, leading to improved thermal efficiency.
Fully fitted for every area of the curriculum
Your complete school building from Portakabin can include everything from specialist classrooms and teaching areas to reception areas, dining and sports halls, break-out rooms, drama studios, lecture theatres, IT suites, stairs and lifts, changing rooms and kitchens.
Ready-to-use facilities
Everything you need for a fully functioning school will be fitted, so you can move straight in. That includes data connections, climate-control systems, security alarms, furniture, car parks, electrical substations, access ramps and all fixtures and fittings.
It offered value for money on the commercial front, identifying its Portakabin Titan product as a very cost effective solution for our interim classrooms.
