As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, Yorkon has developed a series of new treatments to give architects and contractors even greater design flexibility with modular construction, and all the benefits of building off site improved speed, less disruption to staff and students, control of cost and programme, quality, safety and efficiency.
The new developments include:
Shaped modules with a facet of 10ฐ which can be used to form curved fa็ades, shaped atria, feature entrances and allow more efficient development of irregular sites
The option to build from one to six storeys high with an open plan system
Clear unrestricted internal spans of up to 12m for complete flexibility in space planning and interior design
An expanded range of fa็ade treatments to add interest to the exterior cedar boarding, composite metal panels, solid resin panels, terracotta tiles, render, brickwork and stone, and Plastisol finishes in a variety of colours
Fenestration options such as aluminium, PVC-U or timber windows in ribbon, punched hole or composite configurations; full height curtain walling and brise soleil sunshading
Roofs that can be monopitch, standard flat roofs, barrel vaulted, pitched or with the use of atria between two modular buildings; floor to soffit heights of 2.6m, 2.8m or 3.25m.
The new literature outlines the design options, which have recently been launched by Yorkon, and are illustrated with examples from its extensive, award-winning project portfolio to demonstrate the scope of modular building from complete schools for primary and secondary education to selfcontained classroom blocks and extensions.
