Temporary modular classrooms help schools that face a large variety of challenges, from budgets to rapidly ballooning student body sizes, social distancing needs, and aging facilities.

These flexible portable modular classroom solutions can provide a variety of benefits across campuses, giving districts, charter schools, and private schools a way to creatively ensure their schools are optimally tuned for the best possible educational environment.

Modular Classrooms Help Schools in Addressing Common Educational Challenges

In school settings, modular buildings can:

  • Alleviate Overcrowding in Classrooms
    Overcrowding can result from a variety of causes, from rapid enrollment growth to district consolidation. However, it’s critical that districts not let overcrowding dampen the learning experience for students. By adding modular classrooms help schools alleviate this overcrowding, schools can achieve smaller class sizes that have been proven to be ideal for better learning outcomes. Modular buildings also provide teachers with more permanent places to work and keep students from having to adapt to gymnasiums, cafeterias and other non-ideal locations where learning may have to take place if overcrowding is not accounted for.
  • Provide On-Site Swing Space for Renovations and Construction
    Renovations of aging campuses, health and safety projects, foundational work, and expansion all require significant resources and bring along disruption to match – but modular buildings can help ease that burden. By providing swing spaces for classes to take place, faculty and staff to work, and more, districts can maintain productive learning and safety without missing a beat. It’s even possible to create an entire “swing school,” should the need arise.
  • Help Accelerate Campus Opening
    New start-up schools, limited room for expansion of existing campuses, and more can all lead to the decision to create additional campuses – and modular buildings can help get them up and running faster than ever. Modular buildings can be leased until capital dollars allow for permanent spaces, giving schools a way to open and begin operating on time and on budget. Once permanent construction takes place, the modular buildings can simply be removed.
  • Provide Key Space for New Programs
    In today’s ever-changing world, schools are pressed to provide more and more beneficial programs for students adapting to this rapid pace of innovation, and modular buildings can provide an efficient way to give those initiatives the space they need. From grade offering additions to STEM programs, special education and more, modular buildings open up a world of possibilities.

In addition to these key offerings, modular buildings offer many other benefits for campuses, including:

  • Scalable size, allowing for removal of units or expansion when necessary
  • Monthly lease payments to avoid large capital expenses without sacrificing results
  • No large maintenance costs when leased
  • Returnable and relocatable when their work is finished
  • Minimal site and ground disturbance alongside easy-to-maintain interiors

Modular buildings can play roles well beyond temporary classrooms, as well, as they’re suited perfectly to serve as administrative offices, laboratories, locker rooms, cafeterias, libraries, health clinics, counseling centers, tutoring centers, and more.

Impact Public Schools wants software to sort students into intervention tiers

Impact Public Schools wants software to sort students into intervention tiers

Impact Public Schools, a Washington charter network, wants a custom tool that sorts students into Tier 1-3 groups from benchmark data and recommends interventions for students in Tiers 2 and 3. Proposals are due Oct. 9. Missouri's North Kansas City Schools wants a dashboard that consolidates data from its student information system and its assessment, attendance and behavior systems. Side by side, the requests suggest one buyer wants to see its data and the other wants to act on it.

  • 01A decade after the national ed-tech plan made dashboards a priority, a 1,751-student charter network is asking software to do the student grouping itself and recommend Tier 2 and 3 interventions.
  • 02North Kansas City's dashboard request is a useful spec to measure against: student information, assessment, attendance and behavior data in one platform, built for district leaders, principals and teachers.

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

A study of 497 faculty at public and private universities in India finds organizational support positively and significantly associated with faculty agility. Agility, in turn, partly links digital transformation to sustainable work outcomes.

  • 01Faculty agility partially mediates the link between digital transformation and sustainable work outcomes; the article frames the takeaway as a conditional: campuses adopting AI may need to plan for faculty readiness and support alongside measuring adoption, rather than treating it as a software purchase alone.
  • 02The findings come from a cross-sectional survey, so they show association rather than cause, and they sit alongside other research where the proposed middle step did not carry AI's effect through.
