Shipping Containers for Schools
Introducing the StudyBox® for schools - The Classroom Container.
This classroom containers are designed for schools as the perfect space for temporary classrooms during any construction or refurbishment work to existing classrooms. Shipping container classrooms allow schools and nurseries an economical and flexible way to extend the space available for teaching. The StudyBox is a classroom in a pod and is made largely from upcycling existing materials, making it eco-friendly as well as safe. Refurbished shipping containers represent great value for money, but we can also use new shipping containers if preferred. The StudyBox is very easy to put together on site, utilising the unique joining up system designed in 2018 by Containers Direct with the assistance of a grant from the Government Research & Development (R&D) programme. However, we do offer a joining service if preferred.
Putting together the StudyBox
StudyBox shipping container classrooms are made by converting shipping containers and joining them up to give wider areas of space. We fit them with a standard range of basic features to make the ideal, clean, easy to maintain and functional teaching space.

Joining Up Shipping Containers
This concept was pioneered by Containers Direct to answer the demand for wider spaces when using shipping container conversions.
Shipping containers are built to a standard width of 8ft, which can be too narrow for some purposes. For details on the building process, see our page Joining Up Shipping Containers. Our experience of joining up shipping containers is extensive and includes garages and office space, and work for charities, nature reserves and schools. For more details on this work, see our case studies below. We transport the units separately, where they can be joined up once on-site.
Take a look at some of the most engaging work we have undertaken in recent years. With detailed pictures, step-by-step guides, and in-depth insights into many projects, our case studies cover a wide range of applications.
