Recently installed by Browns
We needed extra space fast but didn’t want another cold, noisy cabin. Browns delivered exactly what we asked for — a warm, quiet, purpose-built classroom that was ready in just a couple of weeks.
— Michael Rigby, Burnley High School
School Buildings by Browns
To meet growing demand for extracurricular space, Burnley High School commissioned a multi-use timber building to serve as an after-school zone. We delivered a bespoke 6m x 4m fully insulated structure with uPVC windows, integrated lighting and robust anti-slip flooring. The space is now used for clubs, group learning, and quiet time — described by staff as a “game-changer” for pupil engagement.

Got questions? We’ve got the answers.
Here are some of the most common questions we get about our modular timber buildings for nurseries, schools and colleges. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch — we’re happy to help.
Q: How long do your school buildings take to install?
A: Most are completed in just 2–3 weeks from order to completion, thanks to our efficient off-site manufacturing at our factory in Manchester, delivery and installation process.
Q: Are these buildings warm enough for year-round use?
A: Yes. We use high-performance insulation and double-glazed windows to ensure comfort all year — unlike traditional portable cabins.
Q: Do you work within set budgets?
A: Absolutely. Every building is costed to your budget — and we’ll adapt our designs and build process to be as flexible as possible to meet your desired brief.
Q: Can we choose our own layout or interior finishes?
A: Yes. Whether you need open space, partitioned areas, accessible design or specialist fittings, such as data points — we build everything to order.
Q: Do we need planning permission?
A: Often not with educational establishments — but it depends on your site and the size and use of the building. We’ll help you determine what’s required during your consultation, and work with qualified partners who can advise.
