Two new 1,000 sq. ft. relocatable classrooms at Lawrence Township
 Relocatable classrooms at Hamilton Southeastern School

New Castle Modular, the education divison of Tyson Corporation, received a panic phone call from Lawrence Township Schools, Indianapolis, Indiana. During the summer months more families moved into the new housing subdivisions than was forecasted. The nearby elementary school needed two additional classrooms fast.

In four days, New Castle Modular delivered and installed two 1,000 square foot relocatable classrooms. The students only had to spend a few days using the lunch room as their classroom. This growing school district currently utilizes many relocatable classrooms furnished by New Castle Modular.

The use of relocatable classrooms:
  • Architectural and construction time to complete a new school in the northern part of the US is two to three years.
  • The children don't stop coming while you are building a school. Where do you put them?
  • Relocatable classrooms are an inexpensive, short-term solution to a space problem.
  • Flexibility- classrooms can be moved from school to school as conditions change.
  • Use relocatable classrooms for a "bubble" going through the school district. A bubble is a large number of students in two or three grades with no increase in students coming after the bubble. Use relocatable classrooms in lieu of expensive permanent construction that will not be needed in the year past the "bubble."

Hamilton Southeastern Schools is the fastest growing school district in Indiana. Over the past eleven years this school district has purchased fourteen relocatable classrooms from New Castle Modular.

As the community grew, the increasing number of children moved from elementary schools, to the middle schools and then to the high school. The construction of new schools could not keep pace with the growing number of children.

Each year New Castle Modular, would move the relocatable classrooms to their next assignment. The process culminated in 1997 when eighteen relocatable classrooms were moved from the high school back to five different schools.

This is an example to the versatility of relocatable classrooms.
