Especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, schools have been met with increasing space issues that have only been exacerbated by social distancing regulations. Schools who already struggled with increasing populations and huge class sizes have since seemingly run out of room for students as they spread out, and are running out of solutions short of building new schools.
If you’re looking for solutions to your school’s space issues, or maybe are looking for more efficient or affordable design ideas to use when planning and building a new school in your area, your solution might be an unconventional one, but its high level of customization, efficiency, and unparalleled affordability allow it to surpass more traditional school design plans. What is this solution, you might be wondering?
Whether you’re looking to make an addition to your school to free up space or lower class sizes, or are looking to build something a little more versatile into your school’s design plans, look no further than portable storage containers for your educational needs.
With populations going up, space needs getting more complicated, and the cost of building new structures becoming more and more expensive, it can be hard to know where to start to correct space issues in educational environments.
Additionally, with continued social distancing regulations or stipulations, spacing out students and lowering class sizes can create even more of a challenge. When addressing these issues with the idea of using portable storage containers as ways to expand upon your existing structure or construct a new one, you might understandably have a lot of questions as to how effective or customizable storage containers can be for different floor plans or classroom needs.
So how can portable storage containers make the perfect solution to accommodate education needs? We’ve got all the answers for you.

Portable storage containers can be equipped with all of the spacial or functional requirements needed to efficient classroom environments, including electric, windows, flooring, insulation, plumbing and bathrooms, heating, cooling – anything you need really.
These containers also can be modified to go beyond their original design to create larger, custom floor plans, or stacked to create multi-level buildings. It’s this design that can allow you to build an entire school out of just storage containers. This also allows those interested to either utilize containers to supplement their school’s existing design, or start from scratch.
In addition to their highly customizable features, containers also come in a wide variety of sizes to better fit into your educational vision – before you even customize them! Portable storage containers can serve a multitude of functions in school environments, including:
