Portable classroom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A portable classroom (in Australian English a demountable) is a temporary building installed on the grounds of a school to provide additional classroom space where there is a shortage of capacity. Such a classroom would be installed much like a mobile home, with utilities often being attached to the main building to provide light and heat for the room. It would be removed once the capacity situation abates, whether by a permanent addition to the school, another school being opened in the area, or a change in student population.
In certain areas, portable classrooms are also known as t-shacks. sometimes they are called "terrapins", "portables", "trailers", or "the port".
