Mac Zero constructs 1600m² modular classroom block for Ériu Community College
PROJECT INFO
Ériu Community College in Blanchardstown, Dublin is benefitting from an additional 1,600 sqm modular classroom block consisting of 52 modular units.
The nearly zero-energy building (nZeb) consists of ten classrooms, a Home Economics room, SEN facilities, an internal lift, WCs and UAWCs.
Delivering a sustainable building for the future, this highly insulated and airtight modular building has already achieved a 'best in class' BER A rating, which will contribute to efficiencies within the school's future running costs.
The 1600 sqm classroom block was manufactured offsite, with the project taking just 11 weeks from start to completion. Onsite time was reduced and the install took place during the summer months to minimise disruption to the school community.
