Here is another recently completed two-storey modular school extension.
With a school growing in capacity, a larger dining hall was required to cater for increased pupil numbers at meal times.
In addition, the extra space is planned to provide flexibility and additional teaching facilities.
Our 2 Storey School Extension Brief
The original plans were for a single-storey, traditionally built hall extension in a courtyard central to the school grounds.
The proposed building position was immediately adjacent to play areas, and the only site access was through the main school playground. This presented Health and Safety issues segregating the works, including delivery of construction materials and using plant and heavy machinery close to an active school site. Other environmental factors were considered, such as noise and dust, and there was minimal space on site to store materials.
Works to link the modular to the main school were completed during the school holiday shutdown. MPH offered a fast-track offsite solution, minimising day-to-day disruption whilst segregating the construction works and safeguarding pupils and staff. The overall site programme was reduced using offsite construction, and material deliveries to the site were minimal.
The reduced site programme assisted with value engineering and meeting the project budget with reduced preliminaries.
Furthermore, MPH was able to offer a 2 storey modular school extension option within project budgets. The 2nd storey will serve as a staffroom freeing up additional teaching space in the central school.
The building was installed during winter, and during the inclement weather, minimal time was lost in the programme, which is one of the advantages of offsite construction.
