Laterally combinable multipurpose relocatable structures

A method of constructing a temporary relocatable structure comprising:

• providing a first multipurpose relocatable structure comprising:
• a floor;
• a framework secured adjacent the floor;
• a ceiling pan secured adjacent the framework;
• and
• a plurality of walls secured adjacent the framework, wherein:
• the first multipurpose relocatable structure is substantially in the shape of an elongated rectangular prism having a length that is greater than its width;
• the first multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a first lateral side wall and a second lateral side wall, the first and second lateral side walls of the first multipurpose relocatable structure being disposed so that they are co-facing and at least substantially parallel to and spaced apart from each other,
• the first lateral side wall of the first multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a first access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the first access opening of the first multipurpose relocatable structure in an upright orientation,
• the second lateral side wall of the first multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a second access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the second access opening of the first multipurpose relocatable structure in an upright orientation, and
• the first and second access openings of the first multipurpose relocatable structure are co-facing and spaced apart from each other;
• and
• providing a second multipurpose relocatable structure comprising:
• a floor;
• a framework secured adjacent the floor;
• a ceiling pan secured adjacent the framework;
• and
• a plurality of walls secured adjacent the framework, wherein:
• the second multipurpose relocatable structure is substantially in the shape of an elongated rectangular prism having a length that is greater than its width;
• the second multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a first lateral side wall and a second lateral side wall, the first and second lateral side walls of the second multipurpose relocatable structure being disposed so that they are co-facing and at least substantially parallel to and spaced apart from each other,
• the first lateral side wall of the second multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a first access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the first access opening of the second multipurpose relocatable structure in an upright orientation,
• the second lateral side wall of the second multipurpose relocatable structure comprises a second access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the second access opening of the second multipurpose relocatable structure in an upright orientation, and
• the first and second access openings of the second multipurpose relocatable structure are co-facing and spaced apart from each other;
• and
• positioning the first multipurpose relocatable structure and the second multipurpose relocatable structure in a particular physical arrangement in which the first access opening of the first multipurpose relocatable structure is adjacent and at least substantially aligns with the second access opening of the second multipurpose relocatable structure, so that an adult human can pass between the first and second multipurpose relocatable structures through an opening that includes the second access opening of the first multipurpose relocatable structure and the first access opening of the second multipurpose relocatable structure;
• and
• fastening the first multipurpose relocatable structure and the second multipurpose relocatable structure together so that they are maintained in the particular physical arrangement, wherein the first multipurpose relocatable structure further comprises:
• a first panel that is configured and dimensioned to be used to selectively cover the first opening while the multipurpose relocatable structure is in transit;
• and
• a second panel that is configured and dimensioned to be used to selectively cover the second opening while the multipurpose relocatable structure is in transit.

A multipurpose relocatable structure comprising:

• a floor system;
• a framework secured adjacent the floor system, the framework comprising:
• a plurality of corner posts,
• a pair of upper end posts,
• a pair of upper side posts;
• a ceiling pan secured adjacent the framework;
• and
• a plurality of walls secured adjacent the framework, wherein:
• the multipurpose relocatable structure is substantially in the shape of an elongated rectangular prism having a length that is greater than its width;
• the plurality of walls comprise a first lateral side wall and a second lateral side wall, the first and second lateral side walls being disposed so that they are co-facing and at least substantially parallel to and spaced apart from each other,
• the first lateral side wall comprises a first access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the first access opening in an upright orientation,
• the second lateral side wall comprises a second access opening that is sized to permit an adult human to walk through the second access opening in an upright orientation, and
• the first and second access openings are co-facing and spaced apart from each other.
