Rapid expansion of your estate with a modular education building


When it comes to expanding a school estate, time, disruption and long-term value are key considerations. For many schools across the UK, the summer holidays present an ideal opportunity to undertake construction works without impacting daily operations. Modular buildings offer a rapid and reliable solution for schools needing additional teaching space, specialist classrooms or support facilities. Modular construction offers faster project delivery, reduced on-site disruption, and high-quality, compliant buildings. This enables educational institutions to adapt to growing demands within the tightest of timeframes.


H


ere’s why more schools are choosing modular buildings to expand their estates during the summer break.


Fast-track construction with minimal disruption


Traditional construction projects on school sites can be lengthy, disruptive and oſten require works to continue during term time. For many schools, this can raise concerns around safety, noise and interruption to teaching and learning. Modular construction solves these issues by relocating the bulk of the work off-site.


At Wernick Buildings, each module is manufactured in our dedicated facility in South Wales, where we can control quality and schedule with precision. While modules are being built off-site, enabling and groundwork can proceed simultaneously on school grounds. This parallel approach dramatically reduces the overall project timeline. Once the modules are complete, they are delivered and installed in a matter of days, oſten over a single weekend or during the school holidays. This ensures schools return to education in September with new spaces ready to use.


This streamlined process not only accelerates delivery but also minimises the impact on staff, students, and parents. A crucial factor for schools looking to maintain continuity and wellbeing across the academic year.


A future-ready solution tailored to your estate


The beauty of modular buildings lies in their flexibility. Whether you require additional classrooms, science laboratories, PE facilities or SEND-specific spaces, modular solutions can be tailored to your school’s unique requirements with no compromise on design or functionality.


Wernick modular buildings are built to permanent building standards, incorporating energy-efficient features, natural daylighting and modern finishes that promote an excellent learning environment. Our buildings are fully compliant with BB103 guidelines, Part L building regulations and all other educational design standards.


Modular systems also offer room for growth. With repeatable designs and scalable layouts, schools can add more modules in future phases or relocate them entirely to other parts of the estate if necessary. This long-term adaptability provides great value to local authorities, trusts and independent schools alike.


Whether you need temporary teaching blocks or permanent expansions, modular construction allows you to respond quickly and cost-effectively to rising student numbers or curriculum changes.


Sustainable, compliant and cost-effective


At Wernick, we understand the importance of value for money and environmental responsibility in the education sector. Modular buildings offer schools a more sustainable way to expand, with significantly reduced material waste, fewer carbon emissions, and improved energy performance when compared to traditional builds.


All our modules are built using responsibly sourced materials in a low-waste factory environment. Our projects can incorporate features such as photovoltaic panels, high- performance insulation and heat recovery systems to support net-zero goals. For many

schools and trusts, these sustainability credentials are not just important for regulatory compliance, but for delivering on their own climate commitments and fostering environmental awareness among students.


The programme certainty offered from modular greatly reduces the risks of weather delays and any on-site complications. This means more assurance and better control over costs. This will therefore result in a high-quality building delivered on time and within budget, all during a window that suits your school calendar.

Now is the time to plan ahead. With just a few months until the summer holidays, schools looking to expand should soon begin their planning and procurement processes to ensure their project is ready for installation during the break.
