In addition to full campuses, one of the major demands most school districts have is expanding their student capacity with new classrooms. As a result, Frick, Frick & Jetté Architects have been designing, specifying and retrofitting Relocatable / Modular buildings for over 50+ years. Demands of expansion have wreaked havoc on school districts and their ability to provide efficient and effective services. As a result, tight budgets have caused the growing demand for Modular Buildings. Most often, there simply isn’t enough in a School District’s budget to construct permanent facilities with the ability to adapt and grow in concert with the community. Frick, Frick & Jetté’s experience with Relocatable / Modular buildings include standard portable classrooms along with pre-fabricated two-story building options.
Relocatable / Modular buildings are cost effective, allow for quick assembly, and are easily modified to resemble the adjacent architecture. Many of these structures are pre-approved through DSA, which greatly streamlines the approval process. Relocatable / Modular buildings are designed with flexibility in mind, they are highly configurable and can easily be moved to other areas on the site with minimal site-work required.
