    At least you had windows. My kids are in a pretty new school building, but most of the classrooms are located in the middle of the building without windows and natural light. Seems like another one of those “only in America” things.

      Yeah the “middle” was the school yard surrounded by narrow buildings

      I’m sad to report it’s very much not limited to America. My local university had these things pop up to some considerable height because one of the buildings was condemned due to mold. Condemned about three years ago and is still standing. There’s also a number of schools using these things because they burned down or got condemned or whatever, I’m not entirely sure. At least one of those has been going two years longer than it was supposed to.

        Oh, I’m not talking about these “temporary” container-like structures. I’m talking about newly built permanent school buildings that have no windows in the classrooms. I’ve never seen that outside the US.

      My school had several holes in the middle of the building to avoid this. Most of them are just filled with gravel

    What’s with the cable at the top between sections?

      Grounding, to make sure the containers stay at the same electric potential

      Not only at the top, there’s also cables at the bottom between sections and what looks like a cable duct mounted in front of it with a bunch of cables coming out at the top

        The cable duct looks like ac lines, and the yellow cables at the bottom are probably grounding

  I’m pretty sure ours was asbestos… back in the 80s.

  Portables

  Yup, that’s what I was told they were called.

  I’m pretty sure ours are still there 23 years later.

  I was searching the thread to see if everyone called them that or if it was regional.
