Muntham House School required a new permanent modular classroom building to provide additional specialist education accommodation at its site in Barns Green, West Sussex.
The brief called for two spacious classrooms alongside dedicated breakout, staff, welfare and storage facilities, creating a practical learning environment tailored to the needs of pupils and staff.
Elite Systems GB was appointed to design, manufacture, deliver and install the building, together with the associated groundworks, building services and external works. An eight-bay modular solution allowed the majority of construction to take place off site before installation and completion at the school.
The design centres on a straightforward layout, with a 65m² classroom at either end of the building and shared accommodation positioned between them.
A substantial central breakout area provides additional space beyond the classrooms, supported by the staff room/kitchen, storage and welfare facilities. This arrangement brings the main functions together while retaining clearly defined teaching and support areas.
Externally, natural timber cladding contrasts with anthracite grey detailing. The full-length canopy adds shelter and defines the entrance, giving the building a cohesive architectural appearance.
The completed building provides Muntham House School with additional permanent accommodation designed around its specialist education requirements.
Off-site modular construction enabled the eight-bay structure to be installed in a single programmed day, followed by coordinated fit-out, services and external works. The finished facility combines robust internal finishes with contemporary timber cladding and sheltered access, creating a practical, modern addition to the school campus.
