Portable Classrooms for Rent, Sale or Lease — Mobile Classroom Buildings for Schools

Portable classrooms are factory-built classroom buildings, constructed to applicable building codes and delivered to your campus ready to teach in — climate control, lighting, finished interiors and optional restrooms already in place. Nadler rents, leases and sells portable and mobile classrooms across most of the eastern United States: single classrooms (24′ × 36′, 960 sq ft), double classrooms (24′ × 64′, 1,536 sq ft) and full classroom complexes, typically set up within one to four weeks of your order.

Schools use them as temporary classrooms during renovation or enrollment spikes, as swing space, and as permanent additions on a foundation. Every building comes from a brand-new fleet, with one point of contact from quote to removal.

Portable Classroom Sizes: Single, Double and Complexes

Single Modular Classrooms

Our single-wide modular classrooms for rent are perfect for any school that needs extra space, whether due to a growing student population or renovations of their current space. We provide temperature-controlled units with a central thermostat as well as bathroom options.

Double Portable Classrooms

Double-wide portable classrooms are large and flexible enough to accommodate whatever layout you need. Basic two-classroom layouts are popular, but we can add features like restrooms or administrative offices. You can also choose one standard classroom plus a daycare, science room, or any other setup of your choice.

Portable Classroom Complexes

Your temporary classroom options aren’t limited to one or two classrooms. We can build entire prefab school buildings or complexes to create new schools quickly and affordably. Our modular classroom complexes include gyms, libraries, computer labs, or anything else you need.

Custom Options for Portable and Mobile Classrooms

The best thing about mobile classrooms for rent is the wide range of customization options available, including interior layouts, materials, and even bathrooms and windows.

At Nadler Modular, you can set your own lease date so you don’t rent your temporary classrooms longer than you need to. If you choose a long-term lease or decide to purchase your building, you can choose from an even greater range of interior customization options.

Our portable classrooms can be moved between schools to address temporary capacity issues or be built on permanent foundations to join your existing buildings. They are ideal for school districts undergoing construction or otherwise looking for short-term learning environments.

Classroom trailers are popular for vo-tech education since they can be moved wherever the job site is. They are also handy for commercial organizations conducting employee training.

Portable & Mobile Classroom Questions

Answers to the most common questions about portable classrooms, mobile classroom rentals, sizes and options.

1) What is a portable classroom?

A factory-built classroom building delivered to your site ready to use, with climate control, lighting and finished interiors installed. It can be rented, leased or purchased, used as a temporary classroom or set on a foundation as a permanent addition.

2) What is the difference between a portable classroom, a mobile classroom and a classroom trailer?

People use the three terms for the same buildings. “Classroom trailer” and “mobile classroom” usually mean a single relocatable unit; “portable” or “modular classroom” is also used for double units and multi-building complexes.

3) What sizes do portable classrooms come in?

Two standard sizes: a single classroom at 24′ × 36′ (960 sq ft) and a double at 24′ × 64′ (1,536 sq ft). Units can be joined into complexes with offices, labs or a gym. See our guide to portable classroom dimensions.

4) Can I rent a portable classroom for one school year?

Yes. You set the lease dates, so you do not pay for a building longer than you need it. Short terms suit renovations and enrollment spikes; multi-year needs often favor a lease with buyout or a purchase.

5) Do portable classrooms have bathrooms?

Yes. Restrooms are an available option, and depending on the model a layout can include more than one. Details in do portable classrooms have bathrooms?
