Last year at this time, the term “social distancing” had an entirely different meaning than it does today. Many school districts are planning how they will approach social distancing in the classroom this coming school year. Aries offers a wide variety of space solutions for education with immediate delivery based on current inventory. Read on to understand why portable classrooms provide extra space, even before Covid-19 was part of global vocabulary.
The Growing Demand for Portable Classrooms
Modular classrooms have quickly become a popular alternative to traditionally constructed school buildings and classrooms. Why? They are affordable, quickly manufactured, and a convenient solution to the space challenge many schools now face around the country.
Some of the main challenges schools currently face include:
- Providing enough space for a growing student body
- Construction when school is in session
- Completing construction quickly to accommodate new incoming students
- Cost of construction
A modular classroom is a building that is constructed off-site in a factory setting. Instead of bringing the construction materials to the site to begin construction, the building is constructed beforehand in a warehouse. Upon completion, the classroom is then shipped to its future location.
Modular Classroom as Solutions to the Challenges of Modern Schools
- Flexibility
Modular classrooms, also known as portable classrooms (they can be moved around), are an answer to schools that need additional space. A modular classroom can be delivered to a school for temporary use and then be removed once it is no longer needed. Or, after the portable classroom is delivered, the school may want to move it to a different area.
- Unlimited Design Options
Whether you are looking to lease or purchase a modular classroom, keep in mind that the building can be designed to fit the needs of your school. Aries offers turn-key classrooms, which means they will build, deliver, and furnish these classrooms to meet the needs of the school.
Portable classrooms can be designed to provide sufficient space for a rapidly expanding school. Aries’ modular classrooms include HVAC systems, ADA ramps, steps, safety rails, and decks.
- Speed
For many schools, a growing student body is an issue that requires an immediate solution. Portable modular classrooms can be constructed in up to half the time it takes to build a conventional structure. Depending on the immediacy of the problem, a modular classroom may prove to be the best solution due to its quick turnaround time. Aries’ delivery times will vary depending on the needs of the project, but we consult with our clients, and their time frames, in order to ensure on-time delivery.
- Teacher Independence and Morale
At Aries, we build our modular classrooms with teachers in mind. Teachers love to have independence in their classroom (I heard this from a friend ;) ). When teachers’ classrooms are located inside the main building, they are subject to more oversight from the admin. And sometimes they have to share AC and heating controls with another classroom. This means teachers are likely to be subjected to classrooms that are way too cold… or way too hot. (A bunch of sweaty teens in a classroom just after P.E. is not a teacher’s idea of an ideal atmosphere for learning!!). However, when teachers have a classroom in a portable building, they get more independence and freedom to teach without fear of a random principal visit, and they have more control over the physical environment in their space. Portable classrooms are thus an excellent way to boost teacher morale!
