Schools are dealing with increased student intakes, ageing buildings and shrinking funding allocations. On top of that, some are experiencing problems forcing the full or partial closure of their facilities. How can schools get emergency accommodation, and fast?
One solution is an emergency classroom canopy from Kensington Systems.
Using our Spaceshade modular canopy system, we can create educational spaces in a matter of weeks, in response to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies that disrupt normal school operations. These emergency classrooms are designed to ensure that students can continue their education onsite in safe, weatherproof surroundings.
What can our emergency classroom canopies be used for?
Emergency classroom canopies can be used to teach lessons and for students to study in. They are also good solution for dining areas or meeting places. For example, a school may wish to turn its current dining hall into a classroom and erect a canopy outside to serve as dining space.
What are Spaceshade canopies made from?
Our emergency modular classroom canopies are made from long-lasting, low-maintenance aluminium which comes with a 25-year warranty. Glazed with polycarbonate or glass, they can even have solar panels installed on the roof to provide a renewable electricity source.
Unlike standard portacabins and marquees, canopies can be manufactured to bespoke sizes but still installed on site very quickly. They can be customised to suit a school’s needs with a variety of features, including:
- Glass or polycarbonate side walls
- Opening doors
- Retractable blinds
- Heating
- Lighting
- Custom graphics
- Solar panels
Our canopies can continue to be used as an outdoor classroom or dining area once the emergency is resolved, making it a worthwhile long-term investment of school funds.
