Prefab construction, while a beneficial process with tons of green advantages, has up until now been dominated by single-family residential buildings. We’ve seen great non-residential conceptual projects by Jennifer Siegal ^[5] and others, but have yet to be wowed by an actual brick-and-mortar prefab school, store, or office. But now, San Francisco-based Project Frog ^[6] may be changing all that. With their full line of prefabricated, modular, and customizable classrooms, schools may finally have a high-quality green option for classroom construction.

Advertising the structures as “high performance environments engineered for learning,” Project Frog ^[6] goes beyond the temporary classroom trailer to offer two basic options, the “Dragonfly” ^[7] and “Turtle,” ^[7] both simple, open, customizable floorplans ^[8] that boasts some great sustainable features ^[9] such as low or no-VOC carpet tiles, high ceilings and abundant natural light, plenum floors for improved ventilation and thermal environment, and expertly-engineered building frames that exceed California seismic codes. While each module is a single classroom, the modules can be easily combined to create larger networks of classrooms.
