Factory Visit for Carpentry Students

As part of our ongoing relationship with Yeovil College, we recently welcomed a group of students to our factory in Woolsbridge. 

Seven carpentry students and two lecturers joined us to learn more about modern methods of construction (MMC) and how the construction industry is evolving. They also had a tour of the site to see the manufacturing process up close.  

One of the students lives in one of our Bull Bridge Mead homes which was a nice surprise! You can read more about our work on that development here 

Yeovil College is looking to make MMC an integral part of the syllabus on its T-Level courses, with support from Rollalong. 

Next, we plan to show the students one of our Magna Housing construction sites near Portland so they can see the next phase of our MMC construction process. 

19th May 2020 If your school or college needs some additional space, Rollalong can help! We have a number of modular double classrooms for purchase and hire which we can install and fully fit out in between four and eight weeks depending on the site and the groundworks required. Maybe you need additional classroom space to allow for social distancing, or an extra toilet and washing facility, as you think about how to safely reopen your school after the lockdown. The classrooms can be adapted for other uses by businesses, charities and public sector organisations too: as extra office space, storage space or archive rooms for example. The standard 18218mm x 9318mm double classrooms with toilets are fully BB101 compliant with 2019 regulations, and electrics, plumbing and groundworks can be completed our team as part of the hire or purchase. We can deliver the classroom modules anywhere in the south of England – over to London and the South East and as far north as Oxford. There’s no minimum or maximum hire period, but hiring becomes more cost-effective the longer you want to keep your new building. Customers who have ordered our modular classrooms in the past have included schools that needed new changing areas, colleges that enjoyed an unexpected increase in students, and an MOD facility that required a new office building at short notice. The ground conditions on your site and the proximity to other buildings and services will influence our ability to install our classroom modules.
