The Project

Elite Systems was commissioned to design and manufacture a modular childcare unit for Cwrt Rawlin Primary School, located in Cae Meillion, Caerphilly, South Wales.

This project was part of the school’s ongoing efforts to enhance its facilities and expand its teaching space. The modular extension not only provided much-needed room for childcare services but also seamlessly integrated with the school’s existing sports hall, improving the learning environment for both students and staff.

Thanks to our bespoke approach, we were able to design the modular building with four precisely sized units—two measuring 12m x 2.5m and two at 10.3m x 3.6m.
