portable classroom
Temporary learning space
A portable classroom is a prefabricated structure placed on school grounds to provide additional teaching space, typically when enrollment exceeds permanent building capacity.
These modular units—often called portables or trailers—are meant to be temporary but frequently remain for years or decades: I had math in the portables all through middle school.
