With high-quality design, we ensure minimum disruption while creating an effective learning environment or social space.

Our specially designed modular school classrooms are available in a range of sizes, ensuring your educational facility’s needs are catered for, while also minimizing disruption to the everyday activities of your students.

What are temporary and modular school buildings?

In a range of widths and lengths, they can be the perfect solution for covering a playground or quad space to provide additional usable cover. Our temporary structures are modular and can be erected quickly with or without a level cassette floor to suit the location and your needs.

Structures can be fitted with and without side walls, and to allow extra light, can be fitted with glazed window panels.

With good planning and through working with you and all relevant stake holders, we provide expertise at providing temporary education structures in challenging locations and are happy to look at all possibilities.

Modular sports building for UK Defence Academy
Neptunus built a multi-purpose sports hall for the UK Defence Academy in Shrivenham. The building included badminton, basketball, five-a-side football, and volleyball in accordance with Sports England standards. Additional space was also provided for activities such as yoga, circuit training, and for use as a spinning studio as well as changing rooms, showers and toilets.
