Wall Panel Assembly Animation

This video may take a minute to load. It shows the structure with 24'x48' overall dimensions. The open classroom space is 24'x32' with a storage (and services area, when needed), adjacent to the class, occupying the majority of one of the 8' bays. The outermost 8' bay on one side is not enclosed and provides space and structure (not shown) for the access ramp. The outermost 8' bay on the other side shows 4 of the 6 wall panels with the full glaze option, because that area looks into a courtyard of trees. Earlier in this blog, a student posted a remark that a connection to nature is important for her morale. A student that has a sense of peace and comfort is more likely to be more involved in the classroom agenda, which is crucial for adequate learning and storage in long-term memory. The wall panels bolt to the members and consist of ply-laminated rigid insulation. For panels that connect to a truss, truss clips are utilized to provide a bolt-like connection. The floor follows a panel format as well. A ply-laminated composite including corrugated metal within then stuffed with foam-hardening insulation, the floor panels are both structurally sound for the live and dead loads, acoustically appropriate and have thermal characteristics as well.
