School made of volumetric modules

Kairos Montessori’s new school facilities were built using volumetric modules made mainly of Kerto® LVL. Embraced with the Montessori teaching method, sustainability and respect for the environment were important factors during the project. Modular construction was chosen for this project because of its efficiency and speed, which ensured minimal disruption on site to the school. The project was completed in 6 months, including 1 month on-site for interior finishes and connections.

Overall building was prefabricated under environmentally controlled conditions, allowing electrical wiring, plumbing, and finishes to be almost completely finished off-site. That led to a reduced on-site impact and lesser risk of unexpected events during construction. Additionally, choosing both volumetric modules and Kerto LVL lead to a sustainable solution, timely delivery, and aesthetics for the school environment.

Elements utilised Kerto LVL S-beams in main roof and floor structures, T-studs in secondary wall structures, and Q-panels on ceilings. Thanks to Kerto LVLs strength-to-weight ratio, elements were lightweight, and largest equipment used on-site was a truck crane during a 3-day span.
