Popular Modular School Buildings
Our modular school buildings and classrooms create dynamic space solutions that provide safe, clean learning environments for students and staff alike. Choosing a modular classroom or school buildings means your campus can avoid long-term, messy, disruptive construction sites.
Types of Modular School Buildings
Modular school buildings are constructed from prefabricated modules built in a factory-like setting and then assembled on school property. They can be new, permanent additions to school campuses or temporary portable buildings with flexible leases.
Classrooms
VESTA offers a wide variety of modular classrooms. From single to double classrooms to multi-classrooms and classroom complexes, we have a large inventory of sizes to choose from. Everything from classroom size to bathroom location is fully customizable. We can design your complex to match any existing buildings, creating desirable uniformity and consistency.

Full School Buildings
Whether you need a temporary school building during a construction project or are interested in completely new school buildings for a campus expansion, VESTA Modular can provide full school buildings complete with classrooms, offices, restrooms, dining areas, dormitories, and more.
Administrative Offices
Every school needs a central information hub for staff and students. Modular offices are a great match for schools that need either temporary or permanent office buildings. Their slick design and customizable layouts allow you to create the ultimate school command center. Offices can be roomy, featuring multiple private office spaces for principals, superintendents, counselors, school secretaries, and vice principals.
Athletic Buildings
Support your school team with custom locker rooms complete with restrooms and showers. Show some school spirit with custom concession stands painted in school colors and equipped to handle commercial appliances and equipment.
Cafeterias & Dining Halls
Serve your students with a custom cafeteria or dining hall. Often, modular dining halls can be built to serve multiple purposes. A dining hall can serve as a gymnasium for indoor recess, easily convert to practice rooms for extracurriculars, or serve as a central location for community fairs and markets. Whether you want a dedicated cafeteria space or a multipurpose hall, modular construction is the perfect solution.
Chemistry Labs
Chemistry labs and other science labs need workstations, cabinets, and casework that are specifically built to withstand the effects of various experiments. They need outlets and hookups for sinks, emergency showers, bunsen burners, fume hoods, and more. By choosing a modular building, you can build any necessary safety features directly into the lab itself.
Computer Labs
Yesterday’s computer labs often can’t handle the demands of today’s technology. Gone are the days of 30 desktop computers being shared among hundreds of students by rotating computer class schedules. Now, your entire student body needs to be able to access the internet via laptops, tablets, and even smartphones all at once, while teachers need to be able to use smart boards and secure laptops without interruption.
With modular construction, you can make sure every classroom, not just the computer lab, has the technological and electrical capabilities required for modern schooling.
School Restrooms
Whether you need more restrooms in your school or a bank of restrooms next to your football field, baseball diamond, or soccer pitch, modular restrooms are the perfect solution. Our portable bathroom facilities come in six different sizes, all including handicap accessible stalls.
Student Dormitories
Modular dormitories are a great, cost-effective way to give students a clean, high-quality living space. Dormitories can be built to include important entryways, full bathrooms, laundry rooms, gathering spaces, and any other customizations your school wants to provide. Whether you want a new permanent dorm on campus or temporary housing for an influx of students (or necessary COVID-19 isolation), VESTA Modular has you covered.

Why Modular School Buildings?
Modular school buildings are an affordable, fast, custom space solution for educational institutions of all kinds. With modular school buildings, you can enjoy:
Modular School Buildings vs. Traditional Construction
The off-site modular construction methods are what make modular school buildings more affordable and efficient than traditional school buildings. When we build your classroom or school building, your school can avoid loud, dangerous, disruptive, long-term construction sites.
Generally speaking, the cost of modular construction will offer more accurate pricing and a quicker ROI than traditional, site-built construction. This has to do with the efficiencies in the building, permitting, and installation process of modular classrooms and modular school buildings.
The Modular School Building Process
Get your new or pre-owned modular classroom or school building in four simple steps.
Project Inquiry
Reach out to our team at VESTA Modular today to start the process. We’ll ask you about your current space needs and offer custom solutions for your school. Whether you need a temporary building fast or want to walk us through your five-year plan for an entire campus, our team has the expertise to help realize your dreams.
Design & Permitting
Our team will help you determine if your needs can be satisfied by one of the hundreds of modular classrooms or school buildings already in our inventory. If not, we can design a custom modular building for your school.
Although permitting varies from state to state, our team at VESTA Modular provides all of the required drawings and building plans, including site-specific plans. We can then submit these to necessary local or state building departments for approval. Our team is happy to help coordinate the permitting process or work with your preferred architect to ensure all goes according to plan.
Fabrication
Construction, also known as module fabrication, can occur while the construction site is being developed. For new modular school buildings, you can depend on our strong steel frame and choose between wood and steel for the studs and floor decking (or concrete for flooring for permanent structures).
Once the frame is chosen, the entire structure is created, including base floors, walls, and ceiling. Electrical and plumbing accessories are added. Then, the module is finished with interior design features matched to your style, including doors, flooring, paint, and more.
If you’ve chosen a pre-owned model from our inventory instead of a new build, the construction process mainly consists of a few touch-ups to ensure the building is in top shape before being delivered to your school.
Transportation & Installation
Because your modular classroom or building has been built almost entirely in our factory-like setting, installation is a breeze. However, keep in mind that installation may not be the final step of your project. Once you install your classroom or school building, you may want new sidewalks, landscaping, or other onsite features.
Modular School Buildings Costs
Leasing
At VESTA, we offer two leasing options:
- Operational lease: With an operational lease, you can essentially rent the building from us as long as you need. When your lease ends, the building will return to our inventory. Operational leases can last for years at a time, although they are typically more affordable if they only last for five years or less.
- Financed lease: Financed leases allow you to lease a building with the intention of owning. At VESTA, we work with financing partners who are specifically trained to finance leases for modular buildings.
Purchasing
Although leasing may be convenient, purchasing may be more cost effective in the long run, depending on how long you intend to use your building. Generally speaking, purchasing becomes a more reasonable financial option if you intend to use your building for more than five years.
Other Cost Factors
The cost of your modular classroom will vary depending on the size, if it is new or used, and if it is permanent or temporary. A used, temporary classroom will likely cost less than a customized, permanent fixture, though both options are less expensive than standard site-built projects.
- Building size: Larger school buildings may cost more than single classrooms.
- New or used: A used building is likely to cost less than a new, custom build.
- Permanent or temporary: Although both can last for years (if not decades), a permanent modular school building may cost a bit more to build in a way that ensures its longevity.
- Customization: More elaborate customizations may come at a higher price.
- Beyond the Box: Furnishing your classroom through Beyond the Box is convenient and often more cost-effective in the long run, but is necessarily at a higher price point than an unfurnished modular school building.

Frequenty Asked Questions
VESTA Modular offers modular buildings for lease and purchase. In the modular construction industry, renting and leasing mean the same thing.
If you would like to purchase a modular building, we recommend constructing a custom building to fit your specific needs. New builds are also eligible for a financed lease to ease initial costs, in which you lease to one day own the building.
If you would like to lease a building, you can still build a new model, or you can choose from our thousands of used buildings in our inventory.
In general, we recommend leasing if you are going to be using your building for less than five years. Typically, it is more cost-effective to lease for short-term space needs and purchase for long-term ones. However, we offer leases for as long as needed, even offering indefinite leases for customers who may require it.
This is dependent on the size of your classroom. A single classroom can fit one standard size class (approximately 25–30 students in a traditional classroom setting), while a modular school complex could accommodate 20 different classrooms at any given time. Whatever space needs you have, we are happy to help.
