The Sustainable Modular classroom by ARC
Ideally, school construction would be modular and flexible, to follow the demographic need; what we usually get is the dreaded mouldy portable classroom. The architectural firm ARC has revisited the portable, with the goal " to design a safe, healthy, durable and environmentally friendly advanced learning structure within a realistic budget. Ultimately, the unit is designed for sustainability, flexibility, comfort and appeal."
This is a great example of how mod 5 classrooms can be intergrated onto the school premises considering both external and internal environmental elements.The use of renewable resources, the reduction of VOCs, CFC-free refrigerant for the HVAC system, and the use of recycled materials throughout mean less impact on the environment. Monitoring and control of fresh air ventilation and CO2 levels, the use of non-cellulose, mold resistant materials, better daylighting, and acoustic controls all help to increase the well-being of occupants and may reduce absenteeism and improve learning.
