Custom Modular Portable Classroom Construction Relocatable

Containerized classrooms can be laid out internally according to teaching needs. They are usually equipped with standard teaching equipment such as blackboards (or electronic whiteboards), podiums, desks and chairs. The size of the classroom can be adjusted by choosing different sizes of containers or combining multiple containers. Lighting systems, air-conditioning (or heating) and ventilation equipment can also be installed to ensure a good teaching environment. For example, in some rural schools, when classroom space is insufficient due to an increase in the number of students, containerized classrooms can be supplemented and put into use quickly to provide students with a comfortable place to study. Moreover, the exterior of the classroom can be simply decorated, such as painting some educational murals or putting up slogans to encourage learning.

Successful example of containerized school building:

OA Kindergarten, Japan: This kindergarten building needed to be rebuilt because the original building was approaching its 50th year and had insufficient earthquake resistance. The kindergarten uses shipping containers as the main building material, which allows for a short construction period, is in line with the concept of sustainable development, and reduces CO2 emissions. The building retains the rough exterior of the containers, but the interior makes extensive use of wood, allowing the children to feel the contrast between inside and outside. The name of the kindergarten and class logos are made from Japanese light-leaf zelkova trees on the campus. The trees were preserved during the construction process, allowing the children to participate in the process and realizing the goal of eco-education.

MaST Community Charter School II: Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, the exterior of the new school building features gray corrugated metal panels accented with yellow composite metal panel molding, giving the overall appearance of stacked shipping containers as a nod to the area's rich history of maritime commerce. The school accommodates a growing student body with approximately 30 classrooms serving 600 students and dedicated study space to accommodate a modern STEM education program.

Baldivis Secondary School, Australia: A vibrant and unique school located in a rapidly expanding area 45 kilometers south of Perth. The building's roof has prominent elements like metal-clad shipping containers, providing a strong industrial feel. The interior and exterior walls of the building use precast concrete panels in close conjunction with patterned aluminum panels, and the interior also uses chevron panels to clad all interior corridors and interior spaces. The school creates a special education space with civic value and is a highly sustainable campus with excellent automated passive energy systems.

A'Docks Container Community Student Dormitory, France: Located in Le Havre, France, the dormitory was assembled from discarded shipping containers. It is a project initiated by eight students and residents to promote the collective and social life of the community. The core of the residence is a terrace made of two shipping containers covered by a blue porch roof. The interior vaulted ceiling is reminiscent of the interior of a ship, barge or train. The project combines contemporary art and social cohesion to provide a unique living experience for the students.

Container School, Thana, India: The city of Thana, north of Mumbai, India, established the Container School in a gathering place for street children in order to encourage them to attend school. The classrooms are converted from shipping containers measuring approximately 10 meters by 3 meters and can accommodate up to 35 students. The classroom is brightly colored and equipped with fans, lights, alphabet and number charts, as well as a teacher's room and storage shelves. Outside the classroom, there are swings and slides. This school model has been successful in attracting street children to school and reducing their dropout rates.

The “Container” School in the Gypsy Camp in the Western Suburbs of Ghent, Belgium: This is a school located in a Gypsy camp in the western suburbs of Ghent, Belgium, which was converted from a shipping container and purchased at the expense of the city of Ghent for the exclusive use of the children in the camp to attend school. It is equipped with the necessary teaching facilities, such as desks, chairs, an alphabet, a table of Arabic numerals, etc., which, despite its humble conditions, provides Gypsy children with basic educational opportunities.
