In 2001 Urban Space Management was commissioned to provide additional classroom space for the expanding Tower Hamlets College, London.
Built across three floors complete with an external stairwell and state of the art computer cabling the scheme provided 12 extra classrooms for the college.
As construction times of Container City are significantly shorter than traditional building methods, the whole project was installed and ready for use after the College's summer vacation period.

Mansell Street Community Centre, London
Commissioned by the Corporation of London, Mansell Street Community Centre occupies a narrow irregular site in a dense area of the City. Craned in in only one day, the two self contained units make the building totally demountable so that should the need come to move it, the process will be very simple. For the time being the community centre and crèche is not only a triumph or architectural flexibility but also a fantastic resource for the local area.

The Riverside Building, London
Completed in 2005, The Riverside Building is the third of the Container City projects to be housed at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London's Docklands.
Situated on the banks of the river Thames opposite the Millennium Dome, The Riverside Building is set over five floors and has created 22 office spaces.
With fully glazed front facades, sleek lines and external decked walkways and balconies The Riverside Building takes full advantage of its riverside location providing spectacular views at an affordable price.
The awesome Riverside Building in London is a masterpiece of storage container recycling. This large office building is constructed out of a total of 73 used storage containers. It took only 8 days to piece together each container into a total of 22 office space units and the result was a cost-effective office space and awesome views of the Thames River.
