Architect LondonSchool architecture is quite an interesting part of our industry. The buildings need to allow learning but must be able to accommodate all kinds of equipment and facilities. As a result there may be a need to adapt them. It can also become necessary to add more space over time, especially if demand for places increases.

In many cases a school will consider adding an extension to their existing buildings to create more classroom space. However, there are those who think that this will be too costly and cause other problems. Luckily, there is another solution; erect a bespoke, modular building instead.

Why choose a modular building?

There are a number of advantages to choosing this over an extension. For example it can be a cost efficient and practical project. Below are a few of the main benefits to keep in mind.

Fast construction

To begin with, modular buildings are quick to construct. They are pre-fabricated off-site. Therefore, there isn’t any long construction work. Some projects can last as little as three weeks from start to finish. Instead of putting up with months of disruptive and noisy work, you will have a new building ready for use by the end of the holidays.

Flexible design

In addition, you will be able to benefit from a flexible design. There is no requirement for you to stick to some sort of template for this new space. You can decide on materials, interior layout, dimensions, and more. It is also possible to cleverly design the bespoke structure to include a myriad of functions. This can include different types of tech and equipment.

Low cost

Finally, the cost of such a project will be low. Modular school buildings are considerably cheaper than extensions. In other words, they are ideal if the school is on a budget.
