In other words, a school building that has been there for 50 years which was built solidly will be there in 30 years' time when an extension built today will have passed its sell-buy date. Is this generation, in order to get space done, short-changing the next generation? I ask because we still have generations later the schools that were built decades ago. However, these modular units are really only for one generation and every one of those schools will be back in 25 years' time asking for a new building. Are we short selling our future?
