If you need to create an entire school building for short or long-term use, whether as a decant solution during major rebuilding or refurbishment work, or as a permanent school building designed to the latest education best-practice principles, Portakabin can design and supply everything you need. In response to an emergency, such as a major fire, the speed of delivery of our modular buildings is often crucial in getting schools up and running again as quickly as possible, minimising disruption to pupils’ education.
Your complete school building from Portakabin can include everything from specialist classrooms and teaching areas to reception areas, dining and sports halls, break-out rooms, drama studios, lecture theatres, IT suites, stairs and lifts, changing rooms and kitchens.
What’s more, Portakabin will provide everything you need to create a fully functioning school, ready for you to move straight in. That includes foundations, data connections, climate-control systems, security alarms, furniture, car parks, electrical substations, access ramps and all fixtures and fittings.
To have a brand new primary school for the local community is just amazing. The Portakabin team was superb – easy to work with, fun and very sensitive to the needs of the school. The finish is beautiful and the children are particularly delighted to have their own toilets for each year group – and proper toilets rather than cubicles.

“Our new school building has been transformative: moving from our treasured yet small old building into a large, light airy space has been a wonderful experience.
“We have larger and more pleasant spaces to work in; we can move around the building with ease, there are more learning areas for small focus groups to use and the hall ensures that the children can enjoy PE with plenty of room to move around. We have already hosted two sporting events and parents and guests have had opportunities to visit and see for themselves this excellent new facility.”
