Portable building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A portable building or a demountable building (Australian English) is a manufactured building that is built off-site and moved in upon completion of site and utility work. Sometimes called a modular building, portable buildings can be different in that they are used more on a temporary basis as in a temporary classroom. In Australia, the word demountable in particular refers to portable classrooms.
Due to population increases in many areas, portable buildings are sometimes brought in to schools to provide relief from overcrowding. Portable classroom buildings often include two classrooms separated by a partition wall and a bathroom.
Smaller portable buildings have a variety of uses, such as garden sheds, guard shacks, rural offices, etc.
