Manchester Public Schools Temporary Classroom Space
Project Overview
The Manchester School District in New Hampshire embarked on an ambitious $306 million facilities modernization project in 2024. As part of this initiative, the district implemented a strategic plan to utilize modular classrooms during the renovation and construction process. Triumph Modular won the contract to provide and install 72 modular units across six schools in Manchester. These units included 56 classrooms, encompassing 59,730 square feet and accommodating up to 910 students. Additionally, 16 units were designated for offices, meeting rooms, and other educational purposes.
Project Timeline
The project commenced with the arrival of the first modular unit on June 1, 2024. Following this, a rolling delivery and installation schedule continued throughout the summer months. By August 28, 2024, all modular classrooms were ready for occupancy, ensuring students had access right at the start of the school year.
Scope of Work
Triumph Modular’s responsibilities were comprehensive, encompassing foundation preparation, unit installation, and the connection of essential utilities such as electricity, lighting, HVAC systems, and data networks. This meticulous attention to detail ensured that each classroom was fully equipped and ready for occupancy.
Project Partners
The project’s success was possible through collaboration among several key stakeholders. The Manchester School District worked closely with Consigli Construction, which managed site preparations, and Triumph Modular, which focused on providing the modular classrooms. This partnership exemplified effective teamwork in addressing the challenges posed by extensive renovations.
Impact and Benefits
The implementation of modular classrooms significantly impacts the school district. The buildings can accommodate up to 1,000 students during construction, allowing education to proceed without interruption. The modern and fully equipped modular learning spaces ensure a smooth transition for both students and staff. Additionally, this approach supports a phased renovation strategy across the district. The Manchester School District is effectively using modular classrooms as a flexible solution to maintain educational continuity during a major facilities overhaul.
