Education
From emergency classroom to permanent school building
Because of our broad experience in flexible construction, we can offer a total solution in temporary and permanent construction for the education sector, including any special demands a school has, like a central hall, equipped classrooms for physics, chemistry and computer science, sports facilities, auditorium, canteen and childcare facilities.
Until a number of years ago, we mainly built emergency classrooms and temporary solutions for the education sector. All our buildings are intended to serve as a temporary solution. Sometimes, they last more than ten years and offer as much comfort as a 'fixed' building. Jan Snel's 'emergency rooms' are child-friendly, sustainable, energy-efficient and offer an excellent indoor climate. Of course, all within the statutory standards and regulations, and that is why we increasingly are building permanent solutions through our modular construction method.
Quickly back to work
As you can see from our portfolio, we manage to build a complete school exactly according to specification within a few months. In principle, it can be done within one school holiday period. In case of a calamity (fire, flood, etc.), we also offer more standard education units. These can be delivered ready for use within a few days.
At Jan Snel, you will find solutions for:
- High schools
- Primary schools
- Childcare
- Temporary Schools
- Emergency Rooms
- Earthquake-proof Schools
Projects

The advantages of Jan Snel
Our construction method offers unprecedented advantages for our clients. Whether you are searching for a college, childcare, primary school or emergency classroom: everything is possible. Projects are completed 30% to 50% earlier so you can achieve more efficiency for your project. The housing can be placed permanently, but also temporarily after which the housing can get back onto the market again. This offers you great flexibility. We also offer a No Hassle Warranty on all our construction projects.
