‘Green’ Modular Classroom Project

M Space partnered with Charlottesville Waldorf School, in Charlottesville, VA, in 2008 to build a ‘Green’, sustainable and relocatable modular classroom for their campus. For the design of the building, M Space and Charlottesville Waldorf decided to use a modified version of MBI’s 2007 Student Green Building Contest Winner’s design.

The final ‘Green’ product was a 24 x 36 classroom with a faculty planning office.

Highlights:

Environmental Impact: The building was designed and positioned to fit into the landscape with no harsh impact. The foundation piers and “raised” underpinning were constructed to not impede the natural flow of rainwater or percolation of runoff.

Recycling: Recycled siding, floor tile and acoustical ceiling tiles were used as well as lumber from a managed replenished forest.

Energy Efficiency: A heat pump delivers quiet and high efficient climate control and the lights are switched in a way that conserves power from energy saving ballast and T-5 fluorescent lights.

Healthy Indoor Air Quality: The walls contain paperless drywall and were painted with non-toxic (no VOC) paint.

Daylighting and Ventilation: The building was positioned for the greatest benefit of daylighting. Sun tunnels deliver natural light to the center of the building and large operable windows equipped with adjustable blinds reflect light to the ceiling and classroom.
