High-Performance Learning Spaces for Leicestershire
As Leicester continues to see significant residential growth and urban regeneration, the demand for school places frequently outpaces the speed of traditional construction. Adacon provides a scalable solution through our P300/P400/P600 modular range. Unlike a converted shipping container, the P600 is a purpose-built modular building designed for permanent use, featuring plastered and painted internal walls, high-performance insulation, and robust steel frames.
Typical Configurations and Capacity
The P300/P400/P600 modular range is modular, meaning individual 13 m² units can be combined in various layouts to suit the specific needs of your institution. We work with primary schools, secondary academies, and further education colleges to deliver the following:
- Single Module (13 m²): Ideal for 1-to-1 tutoring, SEN (Special Educational Needs) breakout rooms, or a private staff office.
- Two-Module Link (26 m²): A compact classroom for small groups or a dedicated music and arts studio.
- Four to Six Modules (52 m² - 78 m²): A full-sized standard classroom or double-classroom block, including optional partition walls for flexible teaching spaces.
- Multi-Storey Blocks: Our system supports two-storey construction with internal staircases, perfect for compact sites in Leicester city centre where ground space is at a premium.

What is Included as Standard?
Every Adacon module is delivered to your Leicester site with a high-quality internal finish, reducing the need for follow-on trades. Standard features include:
- Structure: Fully welded steel frame for longevity and structural integrity.
- Internal Finish: Plastered and painted walls, durable laminate flooring, and LED lighting.
- Thermal Performance: High-grade insulation in the walls, floor, and roof to meet year-round comfort requirements.
- Glazing: Double-glazed uPVC windows and secure external doors.
- Customisation: Exterior cladding available in a range of colours, which can be selected wall-by-wall using our P600 configurator.
Delivery and Installation in Leicester
Our logistics team is experienced in navigating the specific geographic challenges of Leicestershire. Most modules reach the area via the M1, M69, or A46, providing efficient access to the city and surrounding towns like Loughborough, Hinckley, and Wigston. However, we recognise that schools are often located in constrained environments.
For city-centre sites near De Montfort University or the Highcross area, we coordinate crane access to lift modules over existing structures. For rural schools in the Charnwood Forest or Vale of Belvoir, we assess narrow lane access and ground conditions prior to delivery. All modules are delivered finished, requiring only final connection to mains electricity and drainage on a pre-prepared level base.
Indicative Pricing and Lead Times
Costs for a modular classroom in Leicester typically range from £30,000 for a single-module specialist unit to £90,000+ for a multi-module block, depending on the number of units and additional specifications like air conditioning or WCs. We include UK mainland delivery in our quotes, while groundworks and final utility connections are quoted separately as they are site-dependent.
Lead times are typically measured in weeks. We also maintain 'Ready to Order' stock for schools facing urgent capacity shortfalls. To get a specific estimate for your project, you can request a bespoke quote today.
Planning and Compliance
While modular buildings are often considered temporary structures, permanent classrooms usually require planning permission and must adhere to Building Regulations. Policies vary between Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council. We recommend consulting with your local authority or a planning consultant early in the process. Our team provides the technical drawings and specifications required to support these applications.
Why Choose Adacon for Leicester Education Projects?
Adacon provides a professional, transparent service for commercial buyers. By controlling the production process in our Turkey facility, we ensure consistent quality that traditional site-built structures often struggle to match. Our P300/P400/P600 modular range is designed for relocatability, meaning if your school site undergoes a masterplan change in five years, the building can be moved or expanded with minimal waste. This flexibility is a primary reason why we are a preferred supplier for modular offices and educational blocks across the UK.
