Tata Steel has teamed up with two offsite manufacturers, Elliott Group and the McAvoy Group, to develop a kit of parts to allow energy efficient schools to be built offsite before being shipped to their final location.
The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)-funded project aims to show how standardised components can be mass-produced to deliver better quality, performance and value for sectors including education and healthcare, using a process similar to the car industry.
Other firms in the consortium include offsite building expert Blacc; the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC); the Active Building Centre (ABC); and the National Composite Centre (NCC).
