Kalesnikoff Mass Timber is launching a new line of modular timber classrooms today at the world’s largest mass timber conference in Portland, Oregon, showcasing its innovation to thousands of attendees at Booth 878.
The company said in a press release that the classrooms are designed to address growing pressures on school infrastructure across North America.
“We are proud to introduce another innovative product from our exceptional team. Many communities in North America are growing, leaving local schools at capacity,” said Chris Kalesnikoff, President and C.E.O. of Kalesnikoff in a statement.
“These new modulars can be built and deployed rapidly, are cost effective, and create a warm and exceptional learning environment for students and staff.”
The modular classrooms, constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) from Kalesnikoff’s mass timber facility in the West Kootenays using high-quality B.C. wood, are highly adaptable. They can function as a single classroom or be combined into larger expansions or entirely new schools.
They can also be built in single-storey, or stacked configurations, and arrive with pre-installed heating, plumbing and digital systems.
“Given the rising costs and other challenges of traditional construction, and ongoing labour shortages, these modular classrooms – like modular housing – are generating a lot of interest,” added Kalesnikoff.
The company said the new mass timber classroom mods are “extremely adaptive” to meet the needs of the community and schools.
The structures are designed for timely assembly, delivery and site installation, while providing safe, modern mechanical air performance and resilient classroom spaces that remain comfortable in any climate.
