Temp Training Room Help

| Need ideas!
I need to get a temporary training room setup ASAP. Until contruction is done on the other side of our location (just relocated here). It's going to need to be in an open area but can't modify the existing structure, will be torn down in less than 2 months. Going to put like 30 or so systems in it so it will prob be like 25 x 30 feet min. Data and electric not the issue. What the hell should I do for walls? Was looking into tall cubical walls, but they are a fortune for a temp fix. I'm kind of leaning toward just having stud walls built then removed. Or if I can find something along the lines that banquet halls use to cut the room up in smaller areas.
Any ideas anyone? | |

The banquet hall stuff is even more expensive. When I was in a factory what they always did was use the prefab aluminum or steel studs and screw sheet rock walls to them. at the seams they had these vinal like strips that you kind of wedged in. The sheet rock was held to to beams with screws. The beam bottoms were bullet nailed into the cement floor. The crew that they had there could put a room the size that you mention up in a day or two at the most. Later they would take it down and use it for the next temp job.
Don't know the rental cost but how about tempory building on a pad like they use at construction sites or overcrowded schools. | |

I like the temp walls idea, that's what I was leaning toward as the most cost effective solution. I was just thinking destroy and dumpster when it was done. Are you saying your company kept the walls or the crew that installed them kept them for another job at different location? If so that's a nice idea, will check into monday. I need it to be a non-intrusive installation, nothing attached to the existing structure. Eventually the space will be filled with cubicles, it is finished area no longer under renovation. Ultimately we'll have another training room permanently in an area of the building still occupied by a diff company. Thanks for the help. | |

Would probably work fine, I just need to cut them off from the rest of the callcenter, but nothing to hang them from. Don't want to mess up the ceiling, it's been finished already. Would have had more options if we knew in advance we would need a second training area before renovations were completed, but we didn't plan for it.
I'm going to need to have 6 110v circuits run over there too, then remove them after, in addition to pulling the cat5. | |

Yes they used it internally all the time. It was a big plant in the mainframe days so there was alway need for temporary rooms. The sheet rock had someting like an all hole strip placed on the edge to prevent damage. If you needed a sound proof room then they put the sheetrock on the inside with studs facing out and placed aluminium fiberglass roll insulation on the other side. If someone complained about the looks then rolled colored vinyl covered the outside. I saw rooms like this go up several dozen times during my tenuare at that specific plant. |
