Precision-Engineered Educational Spaces
Adacon supplies the P600 modular building system, a high-specification solution for educational environments. These are not shipping containers; they are dedicated steel-framed modules designed for longevity and comfort. Each module provides approximately 13 m² of floor space and can be joined in various configurations to create large, open-plan learning environments. For schools in Crawley, this means classroom extensions can be achieved with minimal disruption to the academic year.
Typical Classroom Configurations
The versatility of the P600 system allows for bespoke layouts tailored to specific educational needs. Most schools choose one of the following setups:
- Single Module (13 m²): Ideal for 1-to-1 SEN support rooms, music practice spaces, or small administrative offices.
- Double Module (26 m²): A common choice for small breakout classes or dedicated staff rooms.
- Quad Module (52 m²): A standard-sized primary classroom capable of accommodating a full cohort with space for storage and wet areas.
- Multi-Module Blocks: By combining 6 or more modules, we can create large lecture halls, double-classroom blocks with central corridors, or complete nursery facilities.
If you are exploring larger layouts, you can view our primary modular classrooms page for detailed sector information or start designing your own layout using our free online configurator.
Standard Features and Customisation
Every Adacon building arrives on-site in Crawley ready for final utility connections. Our standard specification includes:
- Fully insulated floor, walls, and roof for year-round thermal efficiency.
- Internal walls finished with plaster and paint (no plastic-capping aesthetics).

Optional extras for Crawley projects include integrated WC and shower compartments, kitchenettes for staff rooms, air conditioning for climate control, and external decking or ramps for DDA compliance.
Indicative Pricing for Education Projects
We believe in transparent pricing. While every project varies based on groundworks and final specification, typical price bands for modular buildings in Crawley for educational use range from £30,000 to £90,000. This range covers everything from a high-spec single-module SEN space to a multi-module classroom block. Groundworks, delivery, and final utility connections are quoted separately to ensure accuracy for your specific site.
Delivery and Logistics in West Sussex
Our modules are manufactured in our specialist facility and transported to Crawley via the M23 and A23 corridors. We have experience navigating the logistical challenges common in the area, from the industrial access requirements of Manor Royal to the tighter residential streets of Broadfield or Ifield. We provide site-specific delivery quotes, taking into account the need for crane hiab offloading or specialized lifting equipment if the building must be placed over existing structures or fences. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure a level, prepared base is ready before the modules arrive.
Planning and Compliance
Modular classrooms generally require planning permission, particularly for permanent installations on school grounds. Rules vary significantly depending on the site's current usage and the size of the proposed building. We recommend consulting with Crawley Borough Council or West Sussex County Council planning departments early in the process. Our team can provide the technical drawings and specifications required to support your application.
Why Choose the P600 System?
The primary advantage of the Adacon P600 system is the speed of delivery without sacrificing build quality. Because the modules are finished internally before they leave the factory, the time spent by contractors on your school site is reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional masonry or timber-frame construction. This is particularly beneficial for projects that must be completed during half-term or summer holidays to ensure student safety and site security.
