The two-level modular design required enhanced structural engineering to ensure stability and long-term performance. Load transfer between floors, wind bracing, and fire protection systems demanded specialist design coordination between Elite Systems’ engineers and external consultants. Achieving this within modular constraints required innovative detailing and close tolerances during factory manufacture.

Working within an operational college presented spatial and logistical challenges. The site offered limited manoeuvring space for cranes and delivery vehicles, requiring precise scheduling and coordination with the college. Deliveries were carefully timed to avoid peak student hours. Temporary access routes and safety barriers ensured minimal disruption, while daily site communication with staff kept operations smooth. Despite tight access, the installation was completed safely and efficiently.

Integrating extensive mechanical and electrical systems, including LED lighting, CO₂-monitored ventilation, and Daikin air conditioning, posed coordination challenges within a compact modular frame. Elite Systems’ M&E specialists developed precise layouts for cable routing, service containment, and ceiling integration. All systems were tested pre-delivery and verified on-site to meet regulatory compliance. The result is a reliable, energy-efficient network supporting modern learning technology and ensuring comfort throughout both teaching and laboratory spaces.

The college’s academic calendar set a strict 20-week delivery window from order to completion. Achieving this required streamlined design approval, efficient procurement, and concurrent off-site manufacturing. Elite’s in-house teams coordinated daily progress checks and pre-scheduled installations to prevent delays. Despite external dependencies such as utility connections and testing, the project was handed over on time, ensuring the new facility was ready for the start of term.

Ensuring high-quality finishes and full compliance with DDA, Building Regulations, and fire safety standards was crucial. Frequent inspections were conducted both in-factory and on-site, covering elements such as floor coverings, ceiling systems, and accessible toilet installations. Each classroom underwent commissioning tests for lighting, ventilation, and acoustic performance. Rigorous quality control maintained Elite Systems’ reputation for excellence.

Energy performance was a key focus, with targets for reduced energy use and carbon output. Integrating low-energy LED lighting, daylight dimming controls, and hybrid air-handling units improved efficiency and comfort. Durable materials such as Colorcoat steel cladding and Firestone roofing provided longevity with minimal maintenance. The modular build’s reduced waste and factory efficiency further supported sustainability goals.
