Needham, MA -Triumph Modular recently installed a relocatable modular school building at the Newman Elementary School in Needham, enabling students to continue learning on site in an optimal environment during the school’s renovation.
When the school addition is completed, they will have leased the modular school buildings for only 12 months. In its current use, this is a sizable installation of 35,620sf and was installed in 60 days.
The modular school complex is comprised of three separate buildings, and the 38 modules include 30 classrooms, administration offices, and three multi-stall restrooms. Each of the buildings has 10 classrooms and are connected via a ramped corridor.
The modular complex features up lighting with illusion ceiling tiles, large aluminum framed 3’x6’ windows including a few 6’ round diameter windows to take advantage of natural light, and oak doors, shelves and coat hooks throughout. The surfaces, materials and colors used in the space are designed to provide vibrancy, fun and creative inspiration, while also promoting health, sustainability, functionality and hygienic ease of maintenance.
Floor, wall and ceiling systems are designed to limit sound transfer between rooms and dampen sound reverberation.
