At Thurston Group, we’re dedicated to providing educational institutions with cutting-edge, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions. As we look to 2024, our latest blog to explores the key benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) for Education:

Safety:

Enhanced safety measures are implemented during factory assembly, creating a secure environment for your employees and students.

Sustainability:

We prioritise eco-friendly materials and practices, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact—a win for both future generations and your institution’s reputation.

Speed:

Our modular approach typically reduces construction time, allowing schools and universities to accommodate growing student populations quickly.

Cost-efficiency:

Streamlined processes and reduced on-site work mean cost savings, freeing up resources for other essential educational needs.

Flexibility:

Modular buildings can be easily expanded or reconfigured to adapt to changing educational requirements, ensuring longevity and value.

Minimal Disruption:

Our off-site construction minimises disruption to ongoing campus activities, allowing educational programs to continue without interruption.

Quality:

Precision engineering in a controlled factory environment ensures consistently high-quality structures, meeting the stringent safety standards of the Education sector.
