Outdoor Timber Classrooms & Socially Distanced Spaces

Timber buildings provide a quick, low cost and environmentally friendly solution for schools, care homes and commercial premises to adapt to a new world. None of us know exactly what the future holds so a building requirement today may change in the future, building in timber makes a lot more sense as it is such an adaptable material.

Outdoor classrooms and bubble gathering huts are popular with schools and education centres, providing seating, cover and a great platform for the future as well as helping children back to school now. Looking ahead these same airy spaces can be easily enclosed or extended, made in to a wet weather play area or even act as the focal point for a school garden or art project.

Outside the school sector there are other institutions caring for people who still need to be shielded but also crave the family contact with relatives. Carefully adapted timber buildings can offer a clever solution here too and keep people separated but together. Pubs, restaurants and outdoor venues have seen their world turned upside down, some locations with 50 covers now only have 15 and people can no longer be 4-deep at the bar. Suddenly more seating is required and for autumn & summer a timber pod is ideal, even preferable for some diners. Alongside more dining space staff also need more room and thus secondary serving locations and even pop up wash-up areas so less people are in the kitchen are popular.

As ever, a timber building of today could be the party hub of the next year, cool winter bar or even additional storage. Innovate a little more, bring in a boat canvas maker to create side screen and an outdoor gazebo for summer dining can be heated trendy private space for the winter making the most a the night sky or stunning views.
