Terrapin offers total solution to school space needs
Published:  06 December, 2007

School rebuilding and refurbishment projects under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme will see many thousands of school pupils ‘decanted’ into alternative accommodation for up to two years while the work is completed. This is a significant part of a child’s school experience, so it is essential the temporary learning space is of a sufficiently high standard to meet the same objectives as BSF.

Relocatable buildings will play a key role in providing quality ‘decant’ accommodation, and the challenge now is to design and manufacture buildings that will support educational requirements economically in successive locations.

With more than 50 years’ experience in pioneering off-site building techniques for both temporary and permanent structures, Terrapin already uses appropriate construction technologies to deliver better buildings – faster and more sustainably. Terrapin’s heritage is firmly based in education, and the company is a leading provider of learning space to nurseries, schools, colleges and universities. From high quality double classroom solutions to fully designed and built schools and campuses, Terrapin creates modern environments for learning and development.

Terrapin offers a total solution to learning space needs, from project management through to furnishing a fully compliant building. Benefits of the Terrapin approach include speed of construction, reduced disruption around the site, certainty of completion on time and on budget, high standards of construction, flexibility to accommodate future needs or development, environmental efficiency and ease of maintenance. Terrapin also offers a range of finance and funding options, together with a choice of rental and hire options.
