Just a few months after installing a temporary pre-fabricated classroom at Little Waltham Primary School, Essex, Elite Systems were tasked with converting the unit into a permanent structure.

Elite Systems had previously manufactured, fitted out and delivered a temporary classroom to the school in 2016, completing the work on-site in just one day.

But when increased pupil numbers meant the school needed a permanent solution, Elite’s team returned to the project to install attractive new timber cladding in line with Essex County Council’s planning requirement.

With access restrictions ruling out a return to the factory, the off-site building manufacturer installed the cladding on-site to ensure a fast turnaround and keep disruption to a minimum.

With the clever installation of timber cladding, Elite Systems successfully converted a temporary classroom into a permanent modular solution which was in keeping with the surrounding landscape.
