Expand With a Ready-To-Use Modular Classroom

Traditional design-bid-build construction can be a lengthy and expensive process. Depending on weather delays and other factors, you may have to wait six months to a year for your new building to become available. If you need more space now, the modular construction method allows for faster delivery times and faster occupancy. A modular classroom may be the ideal solution.

Modular construction allows private schools, public schools and corporate trainers to easily resolve expanding enrollment issues, and add libraries, science labs, gymnasiums, bookstores and other functional spaces to the campus. Modular Genius, located in Joppa, Maryland, has supplied everything from single portable classrooms to entire school campuses to meet the expansion needs of public and private educators across the country.

Expand your school with ready-to-use modular classrooms

 

Some of the advantages include:

  1. High Quality – There is no reason to sacrifice quality when you select a modular building. They are constructed with the same or better building materials to more demanding tolerances, are reusable and relocatable, and meet or exceed building, safety and occupancy codes.
  2. Affordability –School budgets are always tight, so knowing the cost up front will give you peace of mind. In general, modular buildings are at least 20% less expensive than their stick-built counterparts.
  3. Speed to Occupancy – Site preparation and foundation work are synchronized with the manufacture of modules in the factory, thereby speeding up completion of the project. Because your builder knows exactly how long it will take to construct your classroom, you can rely on a definite occupancy date. Many modular building projects can be manufactured and installed in under 90 days.
  4. Appearance – Façades can be finished in cut stone, brick, stucco, siding, and a wide variety of other finishes to blend with the surrounding environment and other campus structures.
  5. Less Disruption – With most major work occurring offsite, the distractions of noise, dust, debris and carbon dioxide emissions from vehicle traffic are greatly reduced, as is disruption of students and teachers.
  6. Energy Efficiency – Most new modular units are built with recycled steel, making them strong, fire-resistant and mold-resistant. Customers can enhance their modular classrooms with energy-efficient utilities, eco-friendly insulation and no-VOC or low-VOC interior wall and floor treatments to reduce the building’s environmental impact.
  7. Fast Disaster Recovery – Portable classrooms can be quickly deployed after a fire, flood, earthquake, tornado or other devastating natural disaster to get students back to normal as soon as possible.
