Temporary Classrooms and Nurseries
Modular classrooms and nurseries for better learning
Our temporary classrooms and nurseries create high-quality, comfortable and inspiring learning environments that enable students of all ages to thrive. The versatility in design, size and style of modular buildings can enhance academic success, and we work closely with clients to create spaces that prioritise student wellbeing and learning. Modular classrooms are also particularly beneficial for relieving the pressure of growing student numbers, whether you need a short-, medium- or long-term accommodation solution.
A rapid solution to changing needs
With the secondary school population forecast by the Government to increase by an extra 207,000 pupils by 2026*, the pressure on space is clear. Algeco has fast, simple and affordable modular building solutions based on our experience of supplying thousands of modular classrooms across the UK. From a single temporary modular classroom to a portable classroom block or even a whole school, we’re here to help.

Our furniture package deals are part of our 360° interior hire solutions and include modular office furniture, modular canteen furniture and other items designed to kit out your hire building fully. So, thanks to our comprehensive range of furniture hire packages, your temporary building can come completely furnished and ready for you to start using it immediately.
