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
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.
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.
I would guess that it depends on health regulations. For instance, in some (most?) countries it’s illegal to have a hotel room without a window and I presume, the same is applied to school rooms.
Makes me wonder if there are school rooms without windows in China, where you are allowed to build hotels without windows 🤔
Yeah, we called them “Portables.” They were there long before I came, and will be there long after I am dead. Long live our plywood fortresses.
Demountables for us
Did you go to Summer Heights High?
Not far off
For me it was containers like these:
Long live our tin fortresses
What’s with the cable at the top between sections?
Grounding, to make sure the containers stay at the same electric potential

Yeah the “middle” was the school yard surrounded by narrow buildings
I’m pretty sure ours was asbestos… back in the 80s.
Yup, that’s what I was told they were called.
