Classrooms prioritise supervision and circulation
Teaching spaces need suitable entry, movement, storage, ventilation and relationship to outdoor or shared areas. The site layout should also support safe student circulation between buildings.

Modular Classrooms and Clinics: Why the Use Changes the Building Brief
A classroom and a clinic may use a similar modular shell, but they are not the same project. Occupancy, privacy, hygiene, accessibility and service requirements can change the entire brief.
Planning guidance — final product and site requirements are confirmed per project.
Clinics add privacy and service needs
Health-related spaces may require waiting, consultation, sanitation, water, waste and privacy arrangements beyond a simple open room. Those requirements should be defined before the internal layout is finalised.
Accessibility belongs in the site plan
Ramps, thresholds, door clearances and accessible circulation can affect the relationship between the module and surrounding paths or decks. They should not be treated as last-minute additions.
Local approvals remain use-specific
The modular product is only one part of the compliance pathway. Education and health projects may have additional statutory or operational requirements that the local project team must confirm.
