Colleges & universities build in modular design

Space for knowledge: Rethinking university construction

Universities and colleges have undergone fundamental changes in recent years, both spatially and structurally. The number of students remains high and teaching formats are changing rapidly between face-to-face, digital and hybrid. At the same time, existing problems are becoming more acute: Many university buildings are in great need of refurbishment, planning processes are lengthy and budgets are tight. One thing is missing above all: flexible, quickly available space that meets today's requirements for teaching, research and student life.

Modular construction methods offer a sustainable answer here. Whether new seminar wings, temporary lecture theatres during refurbishment or permanent extensions on campus, prefabricated room modules allow modern university buildings to be realised faster, more resource-efficiently and more adaptably than conventional construction. The challenge lies not only in the construction itself, but also in the intelligent use of limited space, time and budget.

FAQ on modular universities

Modular university buildings fulfil the same legal requirements as conventional buildings, including fire protection, accessibility and energy standards.

Thanks to their flexible design, modular buildings are easily customisable and can be integrated into existing university campuses both temporarily and permanently without disrupting ongoing operations.

Modular buildings are particularly flexible and can be quickly extended, converted or relocated to respond to changes in the university organisation.

Modular buildings are planned and realised with special sound insulation solutions to ensure concentrated work and undisturbed events.

Modular buildings can integrate state-of-the-art digital infrastructure, including high-speed internet, streaming technology and media technology equipment for hybrid teaching formats.

Flexible solutions for campus development and digital teaching

Universities today are facing increasingly complex challenges: They have to cope with growing student numbers, provide technical support for hybrid teaching formats and make their campus development fit for the future. The structural infrastructure of many universities is reaching its limits due to a refurbishment backlog, limited space reserves or a lack of digital equipment. Traditional construction processes are often too slow, inflexible and cost-intensive to meet the dynamic requirements of the education sector.

Modular university buildings offer a sustainable and pragmatic solution. Thanks to industrial prefabrication, modular buildings can be realised quickly, with minimal disruption and in line with requirements, whether as seminar rooms, laboratories, administration buildings or temporary learning spaces. Modular buildings score particularly highly in the context of campus development thanks to their flexibility: they can be expanded, extended or adapted in their use if room programmes change. This creates educationally suitable structures that grow with the requirements.

With the increasing digitalisation of university teaching, the requirements for room concepts are also changing. In addition to traditional lecture theatres, more and more multifunctional spaces are needed for streaming, hybrid events or individual online learning, for example. Modular university buildings can be specifically geared towards these forms of use, technically equipped and integrated into the campus within a very short space of time.
