Temporary Marquee Structures For Educational Institutions

Marquee and Temporary Space Hire for Schools and Educational Institutions

Our marquee hire for schools and educational institutions delivers safe, practical temporary space when additional capacity is needed. Common uses include classrooms, exam halls, sports facilities and covered outdoor areas. Designed with safety and accessibility in mind, our marquees offer schools and colleges a flexible solution without the disruption of permanent building work.

If you need more space at your school, or college, you have come to the right place. We work closely with a range of schools, colleges and universities, providing marquees as temporary space solutions. Temporary, additional space that helps and supports the work of teaching staff and students.

Whatever you need additional space for, let’s talk about your needs:

  • Emergency classroom when flooding or other damage occurs
  • Extra classrooms for a bulge year at the school
  • For school productions or end of year proms

Our marquees provide additional, temporary, space whatever the requirement or environment – our structures can be set up on hard standing or grass. You can rent them for just a few weeks, a whole term or, even, the whole school year.

In addition, we can supply a range of fit out options to fit a range of budgets, from heating, to air conditioning, sound and/or heat insulation, along with a wide variety of soft or hard walling options. We can offer a variety of floor coverings such as exhibition carpet to non-slip vinyl flooring.

Long-term Temporary Structure Solutions
Example Use Cases within the Educational Institutions Sector
Temporary Marquee Structures for Temporary Classrooms
If you need to add additional temporary classrooms for your school or college, our marquees are a great solution. Hiring a marquee for the school gives you the additional space you need.
Temporary Marquee Structures for Classroom emergencies
If a pipe bursts, the ceiling gives way (or any other type of emergency), you need somewhere for your pupils to have the lessons that would normally take place in that classroom. By putting a marquee onto a playground, or part of the sports field, you can have the classroom space you need back again quickly.
Temporary Marquee Structures for Bulge years
If the local population means you need to add a class to a specific year, where are you going to put these pupils? A marquee provides a secure, and cosy, classroom that you simply keep for as long as you need it. We can provide all the security, lighting and heating that you need.
Temporary Marquee Structures for Temporary Canteen
A temporary canteen allows you to continue serving school meals, and provide shelter for those bringing packed lunches, when you need it. Current social distancing requirements mean you need much more space for your pupils. Having a temporary canteen means they no longer need to eat in classrooms or in the playground.

Fantastic support to us
Trafalgar Structures have been a fantastic support to us since we reopened after lockdown. The provision of a high quality marquee to help facilitate our opening strategy meant we could cater for adult and child classes whilst following the required government guidance. The service and workmanship from the team was first class and the team were always happy to help out if any issues arose and amendments to the marquee were needed. I look forward to working with the team again and would fully recommend for any marquee needs

The Lid on the Lawn
‘The Lid on the Lawn’ installed by Trafalgar Structures enabled us to reopen safely after the July 2021 easing of the government guidelines, within 10 days we had a fully operational table service outdoor restaurant. Such has been the successful transformation of the outside space, we have kept the marquee for a longer term hire. The demand for outdoor dining and eventing has increased exponentially and the marquee has enabled us to confidentially offer weather proof ‘outdoor events’. This is now a permanent fixture with an additional full takeaway facility for visitors to the estate. Team Trafalgar are always on hand and have also reacted extremely quickly to the last minute nature of corporate event enquiries. Many thanks.

I cannot find fault in anything they did

We used Trafalgar Structures at the start of lock down. We were very fortunate to be able to remain fully working however, as everyone did, we had to make some major adaptions on our site to accommodate the 2m distancing. I came across Trafalgar Structures and I found them to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and helpful. We had constant changes to the brief but that didn’t matter to James and his team, they were very accommodating and continued to be very helpful and help fulfil the works we required as well as give a lot of suggestions to make this work. The team that erected/ dismantled the marquee were extremely professional and friendly and helpful throughout the 2 days. I would highly recommend Trafalgar Structures and I would certainly use them again. I cannot find fault in anything they did. Thank you all so much for your help and guidance

Trafalgar Structures came to the rescue when the school needed additional outdoor teaching and testing facilities during the Covid pandemic. The cost of hire was extremely competitive and more than reasonable, particularly when you consider their services are much in demand. From the MD to the installers on the ground they were easy to deal with – nothing was too much trouble. Even last minute changes, and their after sales service was just as good. Its not every day you hire a marquee, but if I have to in the future, Trafalgar will be my first port of call. A huge thank you to James and the team!
