Foremans sustainable modular buildings
Published:  08 April, 2011

Sparsholt College Hampshire has chosen the highly sustainable recycled modular building approach from Foremans Relocatable Building Systems to expand its teaching accommodation.

Each building is partially clad in timber from sustainable sources to help them blend into the surrounding rural environment and fully refurbished and fitted out off site.

“Foremans offered the most cost-effective solution to providing very high quality additional classrooms to accommodate the significant volume increases in students,” comments college principal Tim Jackson.

“The classrooms look excellent and have been clad with cedar panelling and installed at ground level rather than being elevated, which makes them look like a very settled part of the campus.”

Each recycled modular building was fully refurbished with new windows, wall linings, partitions, M&E services, doors and flooring.

One of the most sustainable methods of construction, the Foremans approach generates less than 10% of the carbon emissions compared to a newly manufactured building of equivalent size.
