Education

Easily relocatable modular classrooms and daycare buildings are becoming increasingly popular, providing cost-efficient, versatile solutions for businesses and communities across the world.

Used for much more than construction sites and industrial plants, quick-build modular structures are now being utilized in a broad range of applications in the educational sector.

Modular Classrooms

High-quality and inexpensive to install, modular classrooms are ideal for educational institutions struggling with a lack of space or increasing enrollment, and can be used as both permanent additions as well as temporary structures to accommodate short-term influxes of students.

At Commercial Structures Corp., we offer a range of options for modular classrooms, both temporary and permanent. All are designed to meet or exceed federal building codes, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements, as well as those dictated by individual states.

In situations in which a finalized building plan has yet to be established, but more space is needed immediately, these prefabricated, relocatable classrooms are available with a huge variety of customizable features and floor plans.

The following portable, relocatable, and modular classroom features can be easily customized:

  • Square footage and layout
  • Exterior siding — Aluminum, brick, steel, stucco, vinyl, wood, etc.
  • Interior floor — Carpet, tile, vinyl
  • Various add-ons, including:

    • Pre-wiring for audio, video, projector, and computer equipment
    • Cabinetry and workstations customized for specific needs
    • Custom interior finishes to match existing facilities
    • Acoustic features like noise-reducing ceiling tiles and soundproofing
    • Pre-installed cork-, black-, and whiteboards
    • Lighting and emergency lighting
    • Fire detection and suppression systems
    • Lockers

Modular Daycare Buildings

All of these customization features are also available for our modular daycare centers, which are becoming increasingly popular as more and more employees realize the benefits of offering on-site day care and communities recognize the need for convenient, cost-efficient options.

Portable day care structures are particularly well-suited to businesses with limited capital, as prefab buildings are cost-effective, simple to install, and easy to maintain. At Commercial Structures, we offer speedy delivery for all our structures, allowing new businesses to get on the floor running much more quickly than would be possible building traditional structures from the ground up. Adding new modules to existing structures is very simple and minimally disruptive, allowing growing day care businesses to expand without any costly shutdown time.

Modular day care centers can also be used for multiple purposes in various places. Virtually any facility, such as gyms or convention centers, can be expanded with the addition of a temporary or portable building. Large employers can add day care space for their employees, and colleges and other educational institutions can set up portable daycare buildings for the young children of students or visiting parents. Modular buildings can also be used as temporary classrooms in course-overflow scenarios.

Across the country, a growing population is leading to an increased demand for educational services–from daycare to higher education–but in many aging buildings, there isn’t always enough room to accommodate the growing number of students. Modular construction provides a cost-effective and time-saving solution, allowing schools to build modern structures that can meet educators’ needs in less time and for less cost.

At Commercial Structures, we are known for our ability to create custom manufactured modular buildings for commercial and industrial settings. Our wide range of customization options allows us to produce functional spaces that can be used for almost any purpose in nearly any location–including educational settings. With the versatility modular structures allow, we are able to produce a wide range of modular education buildings suitable for a wide range of environments, including daycares and preschools, K–12, buildings, trade schools, colleges and universities, and continuing education.

Modular Buildings Save Time and Money

The speed at which modular buildings can be erected is one of the largest benefits of using modular construction in education. Unlike other industries, education runs on a strict schedule, with classes usually starting in the late summer/early fall and continuing until late spring/early summer. Because of this schedule, there is limited time for construction, and most projects need to be finished before the start of the school year––otherwise, it can be too disruptive to move students halfway through the school year or semester.

Modular construction can be finished in significantly less time than traditional builds, making it perfect for quickly accommodating additional students or classes. This short turnaround also makes modular construction ideal for rebuilding schools quickly in areas affected by natural disasters. The ability to do most of the construction off-site also helps eliminate the amount of disruption, noise, and mess that typically accompanies building new school facilities, so students can focus on learning without distraction.

Since most educational facilities operate on tax dollars or students’ tuition, finding the funds to expand an educational center can be a difficult endeavor. Modular construction, however, affords the same quality as a typical build, but at a significantly lower cost––helping educators conserve valuable money for things like books, supplies, programs, after-school activities, teachers’ salaries, and more. The cost-effectiveness of modular school buildings makes them a worthwhile choice for institutions looking to increase their square footage without paying an exorbitant price.

In addition, we can easily expand and add onto our modular buildings as needed. So, if your student population continues to grow or your space needs change, we can easily adapt the space to fit your current requirements without significant costs or renovation.

Types of Modular Education Spaces Available

Our customization options in terms of materials, layouts, and size, enable us to produce modular structures that can fit an array of educational settings, functions, and services. For example, our modular building offerings include modular classrooms, modular daycare buildings, and modular administrative offices.

In addition to these standard education spaces, modular construction can be used to build other education facilities, as well. Examples of these spaces include modular restrooms, modular locker rooms and showers, modular gyms, modular dormitories, and more. No matter what type of room or functionality you’re looking for, our customization options will help you create an optimal space to serve the learning needs of your students.

Since 1976, Commercial Structures has been providing customized modular structures to customers around the world. With every project we receive, we’re committed to providing our customers with high-quality, cost-efficient, and timely solutions that best fit their needs and budget.
