Temporary Walls for Education Facilities
Schools, colleges and universities are lively environments serving a range of interests for a diverse population of students, staff, faculty and visitors. When construction or renovation projects arise, they typically can’t be put off until summer recess. Tackling these projects effectively requires working in occupied areas – and that means hiding the disruption of renovations, reducing construction noise, and prioritizing safety for all.
When it comes to containing construction dust and debris, high-quality modular wall systems offer numerous advantages, especially during occupied renovations. For example, STARC’s flagship temporary wall system, RealWall™, doesn’t simply hide the disruption, its superior sound attenuation reduces renovation noise by up to 50%. And its unmatched durability, stability, and real wall appearance allow for work to be done without disrupting day-to-day student and staff activities.
Our LiteBarrier™ and FireblockWall™ systems also offer unique advantages, including versatility, safety, and a real wall appearance that accommodates printed graphics to support school branding, directions, or other messaging intended for occupants.
