Mac Zero constructs 610m² two-storey modular classroom block for Gorey Educate Together Secondary School
PROJECT INFO
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, Gorey Educate Together Secondary School in Gorey has increased its footprint with the addition of a 610sqm modular classroom block.
To meet the ever-growing demand for this type of school in Ireland, additional space was required and over the summer months, the team at Mac Zero manufactured and installed a nearly zero-energy building (nZeb).
Consisting of five general classrooms and two sets of toilet cubicles, the building is finished in striking anthracite grey cladding with the modular classroom block complementing the rest of the school building.
Delivering a sustainable building for the future, this highly insulated and airtight modular building has already achieved a ‘best in class’ BER A rating, which will contribute to efficiencies within the school’s future running costs.
The 610sqm classroom block was manufactured offsite, with the project taking just 4 months from start to completion.
