BREEAM accredited two-storey classroom block
Lady Eleanor Holles school, is a leading independent school for girls that provides education from junior school age through to sixth form. With a growing number of pupils on roll, the school required a new two-storey classroom block. However, they wanted the project to be phased and spread across two years. There was also a requirement for this project to be BREEAM accredited, a service Modulek are able to provide.

planning a new school building?
requirements
The school required a full turnkey package for this build project, including a need to fulfil BREEAM accreditation requirements. With an urgent need for extra provision due to an increase in pupil numbers, the project was planned as a 2 phase construction process.
Both phases were completed during the schools, summer holidays, with MMC able to provide a full turnkey package from planning submission to installation within 16 weeks for phase 1 and 12 weeks for phase 2 the year after.
Offsite construction led to minimal disruption and MMC enabled contractors to meet the school’s need of having a partial build initially with the second phase completed 12 months later. Due to planning, the extra provision needed to reach a certain level of sustainable value, with the performance of the new building needing to be BREEAM certified.
Access was a challenge on this build project, as the school field where the new building was to be constructed was at the rear of the site. MMC provided a solution for the installation process as modules were craned into position making hard to access points accessible.
the building
The building is a 2 storey, teaching block made up of 28 modules. The extra provision has provided pupil classrooms, a large meeting room, kitchen facilities, toilets, and large lobby areas for communal space. Interior access points include a steel internal staircase with glass balustrades and an Orona platform lift have also been added.
being able to speak at Director level allows me to know things will get done, in other companies I get little or no response, passed around between departments, and nothing gets done.

modular school buildings
Modern Methods of Construction lend themselves perfectly for the design and construction of new school buildings that benefit from a truly unique modular approach.
A modular school building is one that is constructed off-site as individual units and is then transported to site and erected into a complete building. Modular school buildings are the perfect solution to additional classroom blocks, sports halls, science labs, humanities blocks and sixth form buildings. The end results is often indistinguishable from a traditional school building.
