Colleges and Universities

"Our surveys have shown this is our most popular and highly utilised facility in terms of bookings and attendance rates out of 32 lecture theatres on UEL's Stratford campus. The orientation of the room allows the lecturer to engage the audience in discussion, the theatre is well laid out and students respond well."
Peter Thompson, Assistant Head of Capital Projects, University of East London 

Fully compliant with Building Regulations Part L, Foremans offers an innovative and highly sustainable approach to construction, which significantly reduces the level of carbon emissions and energy used in the build process compared to traditional site-based construction or new modular buildings.

All refurbished Portakabin buildings supplied by Foremans comply with the latest Building Regulations Part L and have the reassurance of a ground-breaking warranty package.

Foremans' lecture theatres for colleges and universities can seat up to 300 students in a building constructed from recycled and refurbished steel modules reducing the time on site to just four weeks.

The design has tiered seating to ensure good visibility from every angle and has been developed to be accessible rather than intimidating, and to encourage audience engagement and interaction between the lecturer and students.  The approach gives universities and colleges all the advantages of modular building and one of the most sustainable methods of construction - with the additional benefit of a standardised and proven design.  There is also the option of full air conditioning.

You can expect:

• less disruption to staff and students during construction
• improved sustainability because the Foremans approach generates less energy and carbon emissions in the build process
• full compliance with Building Regulations
• a cost effective alternative to new build
• the resources of the UK's largest supplier of pre-owned modular buildings - for complete peace of mind
• a standardised and proven design.
