Temporary Classrooms in a pinch

Solving Overcrowding in Schools: JMO Modular Delivers a Fast, Flexible Classroom Solution

It’s no secret that American schools continue to struggle with overcrowding. With enrollment rising across educational levels, districts are increasingly asking a familiar question: Where are we going to put all of our students?

In 2023, JMO Modular was contacted by a local school district facing this exact challenge. The district needed a high-quality classroom solution—and fast. With only 90 days before the start of the new school year, JMO Modular was tasked with designing, delivering, and installing a double-wide modular classroom that would be fully operational by the first day of school.

The project demanded speed, flexibility, and coordination. One of the greatest advantages of modular construction is the ability to work on the building in a factory while simultaneously preparing the site. This dual-track timeline saved weeks of work and allowed the project to meet a tight deadline without compromising quality.

Designed for multi-year use, the classroom included exterior finishes that blended with the existing school architecture, as well as interior features built for durability and daily use. Covered walkways and ADA-compliant ramps were included to ensure accessibility and all-weather convenience.

Inside, the modular classroom was equipped with modern infrastructure to support computers, smart boards, projectors, and climate control systems—everything needed for a 21st-century learning environment. The layout also included private restrooms to increase comfort and functionality for students and teachers.

Most importantly, the classroom was ready on time, and students walked into a clean, safe, and fully equipped space on the first day of school—without any disruption to learning.


Modular Solutions for Education

Modular construction is changing how schools approach growth and space limitations. Compared to traditional construction methods, modular buildings are faster to deploy, more cost-effective, and easier to adapt as enrollment shifts. Additional classrooms can be added or removed as needed—making it a smart, scalable option for school districts of any size.

If your school is facing space constraints or planning for future expansion, consider modular construction as a proven solution.
