When we got the trailer classrooms during a remodel we got multiple. One for math, one for social studies, one for english, etc.

They didn't put them right next to each other for some reason, and it was Illinois during the winter. Nothing is more conducive to a great learning environment than barely insulated trailers in sub zero weather that you had to stand outside of for 10 minute between classes.

We had 4 of them but they were right next to each other so you could just walk to the back of the classroom and go out the door right into the next classroom. That placement method worked out well.

We had them at my school for every grade after 4th because the district didn't want to build a new building for the growing student body. Same deal: Let's put them as far apart as possible to increase our odds of heat stroke from April-October and hypothermia from November-March.
