Green Education Solutions
Sustainable classroom designs are becoming increasingly important to school districts across the country. While it may take several years before such designs are the norm, Williams Scotsman is looking toward the future of modular classrooms and has made sustainability a priority today. We’ve been collaborating with other industry leaders to develop prototypes for environmentally friendly, energy-efficient modular classrooms.
If you are looking for sustainable learning environments, we can help. Our designs and prototypes incorporate:
- Access to natural light and other daylighting strategies
- Renewable energy sources
- Energy-efficient HVAC units
- Energy-efficient lighting and sensor switches
- Low-E windows
- Recycled floor and wall coverings
- Low or no VOC emitting paints, solvents, and sealants
Award-winning designs
In 2006, we participated in the “Portable Classroom Design Challenge” sponsored by the Modular Building Institute, the Educational Facility Planners and the Emerging Green Builders of the U.S. Green Building Council. Our design renderings of energy-efficient and sustainable classrooms won an honorable mention.
