Highgate Wood School Exam Hall 2

Discover how you can successfully manage summer refurbishments to your school, college or university while still ensuring the best quality of education for your students.

Upgrading areas of your campus? Don’t let your summer refurbishments disrupt student’s progress. At Spaciotempo we can offer a range of temporary and semi-permanent builds that create a unique and convenient teaching space. In our latest blog we discuss how you can save money and time with temporary buildings for schools and colleges.

Why are temporary buildings a great option for creating dynamic learning spaces?

Our temporary structures are fully customisable allowing you to create bespoke layouts that provide tailored solutions for your students. Whether you need a temporary sports hall with a separate space for changing facilities, or a new workshop for vocational courses, our area sales managers can help you to design a full turnkey solution providing unique teaching spaces.

Our structures can come fully fitted with electric packages, lighting and HVAC solutions creating a comfortable and productive learning space.

With academic requirements changing frequently, our structures are designed for easy scalability. This allows you to quickly and easily expand your temporary space to accommodate a larger student intake or provide additional room during exam season. 

With our short-term contracts you only pay for the space you need when you need it, whether that’s three months or three years. Additionally, thanks to our relationship with Schools Finance Direct, we offer financing options to support the installation of temporary education buildings.

From order to installation Spaciotempo can deliver your new temporary classroom in just 6 to 8 weeks! Don’t waste time and money on traditional construction that will disrupt your students learning. Our rapid installation times mean that your students can continue learning in an environment that works for them.

How can schools and colleges use temporary buildings?

Temporary Classrooms

Our range of temporary classrooms, exam halls and offices for schools are the ideal solution during major development works, refurbishment and repairs. They can even become long-term replacements for traditional school buildings.

Temporary Sports Halls

We can supply high‑quality coverings for sports courts as well as temporary swimming pools and gym facilities. Whether you're expanding your sports curriculum or carrying out refurbishment on existing leisure blocks, our structures offer safe, durable environments for PE lessons, training sessions and extracurricular clubs. If you need a space that supports state-of-the-art sports for your students, we can help you create it.

Temporary canteens and Dining Halls

Our temporary canteens offer space for full catering kitchens, service areas and seating zones. If you’re looking for a temporary dining area that’s comfortable and practical a temporary building is the perfect option.

Temporary Labs or Workshops

For schools and colleges needing specialist facilities, we can create bespoke options for temporary labs and workshops. These spaces allow Career and Technical Education teaching to continue uninterrupted, even during major campus upgrades.

Temporary SEND and Wellbeing Spaces

Many schools require additional areas for pastoral support, counselling or SEND provision. We can create private, accessible spaces that support student wellbeing and deliver essential services without needing to wait for permanent construction.

Expanding learning opportunities at NSCG Newcastle College

With student enrollment in construction and brickwork courses at an all-time high, NSCG Newcastle College needed additional workshop space fast.

After contacting Spaciotempo for a bespoke solution the team delivered a brand-new 75sqm semi-permanent workshop in just three days.

Despite the project being approved at the last minute, the team worked efficiently to ensure it was completed on time.

The structure will provide students with a dedicated space to develop their practical skills and remains a valuable asset to the college.
