With rising demand for schools in the coming years, constructing schools out of shipping containers is becoming a more cost-effective and long-term solution for constructing high-quality schools and educational facilities. Building entirely new schools can take a long time, and in certain cases will be insufficient to address the immediate need.
Other solutions include expanding the capacity of existing schools to accommodate more students. Using shipping containers as new classrooms is one practical and cost-effective strategy to accomplish this.
High demand for schools and educational centers.
Large regions of the country are already experiencing a school shortage, which has been exacerbated by Africa’s rapidly growing urban population. According to the Kenyan Ministry of Education, 60 percent of Kenyan regions would not have enough primary school spaces by 2030.
As a result, schools must determine how best to accommodate the increased demand. Converting spare space into more classrooms is one possible option. Non-teaching spaces, as well as container hire contracts, could be used to enhance space.
Portable Schools
Shipping containers are an excellent option for classroom shortages since they allow capacity to be increased fast. They assist councils and schools in a variety of ways without compromising teaching quality or student facilities.
Containers can be easily assembled without the need for traditional construction methods or complications with the planning procedure. A container can be lifted into place and used practically immediately once the space has been prepared. They can be used as single-story constructions or stacked to make better use of the available space.
Shipping containers are also less expensive than typical structures, and they can be sold or returned to the container rental firm when no longer needed. They are ideal for use in school environments, and their strength makes them exceptionally durable.
They may stay on the site for up to 30 years without decaying if necessary. The containers were built for use at sea and can resist the harshest of environments, so they should be able to withstand the country’s weather.
Containers will become more common on sites around the country as more schools attempt to expand the number of spaces they can provide. They provide the speed and flexibility that our contemporary educational system requires to keep up with the growing number of students.
