What are SEN Classrooms?
Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) classrooms are learning spaces designed to accommodate and support pupils with different learning difficulties and disabilities. The demand for SEND has grown significantly over recent years, with a shortage of suitable learning spaces to support children with complex needs within mainstream schools.
At MPB Temporary Classrooms, we design and build bespoke modular SEN classrooms that support the needs of both SEN and SEND pupils, fitted with appropriate features like sensory rooms, DDA-compliant hygiene facilities, security systems, acoustic flooring and more.

Benefits of Modular SEN Classrooms
Choosing a modular design provides a great advantage for schools in terms of cost, lead times, sustainability and accessibility. With MPB, you can customise the exact SEN features you need for your classroom and benefit from rapid installation and flexible designs to suit a variety of needs and disabilities.
Sensory Friendly and Highly Accessible
A modular SEN classroom will be fitted with sensory-friendly features, from soft, natural lighting, acoustic insulation to reduce noise, quiet zones, textured walls for sensory engagement and flexible layouts for different needs and learning activities. Pupils will benefit from wide doorways and corridors for wheelchairs and other mobility aids, DDA-compliant toilets and showers, as well as access ramps and other bespoke access features.
Quick Installation with Reduced Disruptions
We build modular SEN and SEND classrooms in a controlled factory environment, making onsite disruption minimal. This also makes construction time around 70% quicker than traditional builds. If you hire or purchase a used modular classroom, this process is sped up even further.
Environmentally Friendly Alternative
Hire a classroom building for your SEN pupils and benefit from an eco-friendly alternative to brick-and-mortar construction. We use sustainable materials and processes that use less energy to produce, and the controlled environment for manufacturing means less waste and pollution.
Cost-Effective and High-Quality Solution
Schools and the education sector can save money by opting for modular classrooms. SEN learning spaces often have added costs due to the specific facilities that are needed; a permanent or temporary SEN classroom that’s modular provides savings on labour and materials, and limits the risk of budget overruns due to weather or on-site delays.
Our Process
Step 01 – Designing Your SEN Classroom
Start our process with a close collaboration on the design of your modular SEN classroom. We can start from scratch with a new, bespoke design or provide the option to modify a unit from our refurbished range.
Step 02 – Planning and Compliance
We go the extra mile for our clients with the option for our team to handle all applications regarding planning and compliance. You can handle this step yourselves, or let our experts see all applications approved within 12 weeks.
Step 03 – Groundworks and Manufacturing
Our team gets to work manufacturing your modular SEN classroom in our controlled premises, as well as sending out a team to perform all groundworks at your site, hugely reducing project lead times.
Step 04 – Installation
We then transport all modular sections and materials to your site and begin installation to your exact specifications and SEN requirements, including accessibility and sensory features.
Step 05 – Handover and Snagging
Before we hand over, we complete all final checks and ensure your modular classroom is fully ready for your SEN and SEND pupils to learn and thrive in.
Customise Your SEN Classroom
Ramp and Stairs
Ramps for wheelchairs and mobility aids are essential for SEN classrooms, and stairs also provide great access for others. We can design your classroom with both for full accessibility.
DDA Toilets
We customise toilets and hygiene facilities to support the needs of SEN students. Toilets and hygiene facilities will be spacious to accommodate wheelchairs, feature raised toilet seats, grab bars, non-slip flooring and can incorporate sensory elements for those with different sensitivities.
Lobby Area
Add a lobby area that can be soundproofed, feature soft lighting and be the perfect space for secure storage, safe wellbeing or an inclusive space for pupils to get ready for the school day.
Kitchenette
Meals, drinks and washing up can all be done with an added kitchenette for your modular SEN building. It can also feature controlled access, so only those authorised can enter these areas.
Canopies
Customise with a canopy for shelter from the rain or an opportunity to get pupils to learn in the outdoors when appropriate. A canopy can also act as another way to provide sensory textures or solutions to support unique learning needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of modular SEN classrooms?
Modular SEN classrooms come in several formats to suit different needs. Options include single standalone classrooms, multi-room learning hubs, sensory rooms, nurture spaces, life skills suites and fully bespoke SEND facilities. Designs from MPB can incorporate calm rooms, hygiene suites and accessible portable toilets, with layouts tailored to pupils with different communication, cognition, social, emotional, mental, physical and sensory needs. The great thing about modular SEN classrooms is they can either be temporary or permanent installations.
How much does a modular SEN classroom cost?
The cost of a modular SEN classroom will vary based on the specific size, layout, customisations and finishes. Used modular SEN facilities will be cheaper than brand new builds. We provide unique quotes for our modular SEN classrooms, as well as provide options for purchase and hire. Speak to our team to discuss your budget, and we’ll provide a range of options to suit.
How long does it take to build a custom SEN building?
A custom modular SEN building is significantly quicker to build than a traditional construction. From initial design approval, projects take as little as 8-16 weeks, depending on complexity and planning requirements. Because modules are manufactured off site, groundwork and building fabrication can happen simultaneously, reducing disruption to the school environment and allowing pupils to benefit from the new space sooner.
What is the lifespan of a modular SEN classroom?
Our modular SEN classrooms are built to the same high standards as traditional school buildings, and can last 25-40 years or more with proper care. Permanent and temporary modular classrooms use durable materials and robust, controlled construction methods, making them suitable for long-term use.
What maintenance is required?
Maintenance is similar to traditional builds. Regular checks of roofing, cladding, ventilation systems and plumbing are recommended, alongside routine servicing of heating and electrical systems. Internal finishes may require periodic refreshing depending on use. With a planned maintenance schedule, modular SEN classrooms remain safe, compliant and cost-effective throughout their lifespan.
