Eco modular classrooms - schools, colleges and universities
Commission a series of self-contained ARC eco-classrooms or a new eco-building to an existing educational facility with a connecting glazed link, perfect for any school, college or university. The ARC is a calm and inspiring space which is highly conducive to learning.
Year-round optimum temperature whatever the weather
Unlike many self-contained outbuildings the ARC, with its heating options, including underfloor, in-wall and ducted heating and ventilation systems, offers year-round comfort for optimum working and learning environments. Add to the ARC the optional pollen-filtered air systems and you can create a cleaner and healthier environment to promote productivity and inspire creativity.

Whether you are looking for an eco-classroom, green educational space, reception area, staff room or other ultra-low carbon educational spaces, the ARC can be designed, built and delivered to site fully operational with all electrics, plumbing, flooring, tiling and decorating already in place.

Our eco-classrooms and buildings can be supplied with built-in storage. Desks, chairs, reception areas and boardroom tables can also be designed and made by our in-house team of cabinet makers.
