4,800 Sq Ft of High-Performance Modular Classrooms at Oak Hill Middle School
To manage a temporary increase in enrollment, the City of Newton installed 4,800 square feet of high-performance modular classroom space at Oak Hill Middle School in Newton, MA. The project included eight modular units designed to meet Massachusetts High‑Performance Schools Protocols (MA CHPS). These classrooms feature daylight harvesting, air-barrier construction, efficient HVAC systems, and other green elements that enhance air quality, reduce energy use, and support a healthy learning environment.
Newton’s decision reflects a commitment to sustainability and financial prudence—leveraging modular classroom expansion to meet immediate needs without overbuilding permanent structures that may later be underused. The units were built with below-grade foundations and airtight seals, ensuring they can be relocated in future years without compromising performance.
The modular addition delivers long-term flexibility: classrooms can be repurposed or moved to other schools as enrollment shifts. This approach demonstrates how high-performance modular construction can address short-term needs efficiently while aligning with environmental goals and district planning.
