CASE 21 (Creative Academic Sustainable Environments for the 21st Century) addresses the challenge of poorly designed classroom structures by combining the best in architectural design and modular construction to promote a positive learning environment, while adhering to the principles of sustainability.

Constructed using advanced building design concepts for optimal energy performance, flexibility and thermal protection, CASE 21 classrooms can be built to your size and dimensions, from one single classroom to an entire academic wing of classrooms.

The CASE 21 classroom is prefabricated in a protected environment and then delivered to the site within three to six months.  This controlled process prevents the typical delays and cost overruns that are associated with conventional construction.

To create a high-performance learning environment, CASE 21 classrooms employ numerous strategies designed to enhance teaching and learning.  In particular, this includes sustainable design techniques such as light shelves and increased exposure to daylight as well as key support elements for power and data.  As part of the overall design, a multi-purpose teaching wall provides fingertip access to state-of-the-art integrated technologies such as interactive whiteboards, video projection and wireless access. 

The final result is an ideal learning and teaching environment that inspires creativity while promoting innovation.

The CASE 21 Green Advantage
In accordance with the guidelines and performance criteria of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, the CASE 21 classroom incorporates many LEED-focused design strategies such as:

  • High efficiency water conservation control devices and plumbing fixtures
  • Energy conserving HVAC system controls, lighting systems and controls, and building construction technologies
  • Reduction of material requirements in the pre-fabricated process, virtually eliminating materials waste
  • Factory-controlled building to eliminate the potential for moisture damage and exposure to the elements
  • Use of ‘green” materials in our building for flooring, ceiling materials, paint and siding
  • Off-site construction which helps to lessen traffic on the building site
