What Are Temporary Sports Buildings?

Temporary sports buildings are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, with modules then being delivered and installed on your premises. For schools, colleges and universities, temporary modular sports buildings can be designed for dedicated sports or multiple activities.

Many schools choose temporary sports buildings for sports halls, gyms, changing rooms, as well as dedicated areas for sports like football, rugby, volleyball, basketball, badminton and tennis.
Fortunately, temporary sports halls can be adapted and reconfigured even after installation, with modules expanded or reduced to suit different needs. Because they’re built off site under controlled conditions, waste is also reduced and delays due to adverse weather is eliminated.
Quick to make and install, temporary sports buildings for schools also don’t have to be temporary. They’re made to last decades, so they are the perfect solution for expanding existing facilities for seasonal activities, emergency requirements or even long-term use.

Benefits of a Temporary Sports Building

More schools and educational premises are choosing temporary modular buildings for sporting facilities because of the amazing benefits they provide that traditional structures simply can’t.

High-Quality

Modular sports buildings are manufactured from high-quality and premium materials that can withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions. All materials meet building regulations and are designed to last decades, so in practice the length of use doesn’t have to be temporary.

Fast Off-Site Construction

The optimised manufacturing process and supply chains mean that temporary sports buildings produce far less waste and are developed far faster than traditional builds. The controlled factory setting means the majority of construction is completed indoors, so there is no concern for delays caused by heavy rain or snow. Another plus is that plumbing, electrics and internal fixtures will be pre-installed before installation, speeding up the whole construction and installation process further.

Bespoke Design

Schools can pick between pre-designed and constructed units, or opt for a completely customised temporary sports building design. You can design the modular building for any type of sporting application, include unique layouts to support different activities, and customise further with cladding for enhanced insulation and aesthetics. Include areas for storage and combine the sporting facilities with changing rooms, and portable toilets and shower blocks.

Maintain Key Services

Modular sports buildings are popular for the education sector because they help maintain access to physical activities and community sports programmes during periods of disruption or overcapacity. By providing a flexible, weather-protected space for activities such as PE lessons, team training, exams or assemblies, schools can continue to meet curriculum requirements and support student well-being without relying on off-site facilities.

Everything is manufactured off site, with our team then transporting the built modules for installation on your school site. If you need them dismantled and removed from your premises, or relocated somewhere else, we are more than happy to support your requirements.

We prepare all groundworks pre-installation, including all foundations and prepared work for electrics, ducting, plumbing and drainage. Our skilled engineers handle this while the modules are being built off site, streamlining the entire process even further and reducing disruption for your school.

Our Process

Step 01 – Design Phase

We begin by developing a bespoke design for your school’s temporary sports building. We’ll create 3D plans that detail all the facilities you want to include and provide a full quotation for your bespoke build. We also have adaptable options already built that can be altered to meet designs for sporting activities.

Step 02 – Planning and Compliance

If requested, we can handle all planning permission requirements for your modular sports building, with this step typically taking between 8 and 12 weeks. We’ll submit paperwork and all building regulation applications.

Step 03 – Groundworks and Manufacturing

We perform all groundworks at your school, college or university site and prepare it for installation. At the same time, we manufacture your sports building in our controlled facilities, streamlining the process and avoiding delays associated with traditional brick and mortar developments.

Step 04 – Installation

We deliver your sports building modules using specialised transport and install everything on site. Thanks to the modules being mostly complete beforehand, installation is highly efficient, and we’ll ensure all mains, plumbing and other utilities are connected and working.

Step 05 – Snagging and Handover

Once your temporary sports building is installed, we perform all final snagging checks to ensure it’s safe and you’re completely satisfied. Once everything has been approved, we’ll hand over the building ready for school sporting activities to commence.
