At ELA Container, the usual process begins with customer specifications, followed by the planning and then implementation. “When we received the enquiry from Studentenwerk Göttingen about a temporary canteen made from mobile rooms, we not only prepared a quotation but also a draft plan at the same time,” explains ELA Area Sales Manager Christiane Basler. In doing so, she and her colleague Kevin Koopmann, a project manager at ELA, won the major project for the room specialist from Haren.

ELA Premium Containers offer plenty of space for eating
At 3 metres wide, the ELA Premium Containers provide much more space to eat and take a break.

“We found the draft extremely helpful when it came to considering other aspects,” says Carmen Heine, Head of Building Management at Studentenwerk Göttingen. She is in charge of planning a temporary canteen while the canteen on the North Campus undergoes a comprehensive renovation and extension.

 

“As ELA provided us with expert advice in the planning phase and pointed out potential alternatives, we ended up with an excellent room solution that was within our budget.”

 

Sanitary facilities in the ELA container system
ELA supplied the sanitary facilities for the temporary canteen, fully fitted with WCs, urinals and sinks.
Accessible sanitary facilities
ELA also took the special requirements for accessible access into consideration when planning and building the system.

The customer was impressed by the 3-metre-wide ELA Premium Containers in particular. “With their extra width, the ELA Premium Containers offer potential savings in terms of rent, transport and assembly,” explains Koopmann. “This is a significant cost advantage when the usable area is 550 square metres.”

 

“The top priority was to build a facility where students would still be happy to meet for their meals,” says Heine. “We were able to achieve this goal with ELA Container as everything ran smoothly and on schedule from planning to completion.”
