Sleeping modules are disclosed which are of elongated box shape construction with open ends for access. The are about length and width of a single bed and of sufficient height for an occupant to sit upright. The modules assembled in stacks or columns of two or more modules supported one above the other in parallel relation in a supporting framework and arranged in rows together with bathrooms and other accommodations. The sleeping modules are assembled into portable building units which may be used for portable sleeping accommodations at parks, sporting events, and other locations where temporary or permanent inexpensive sleeping accommodations are desired. Additionally, the sleeping modules may be assembled into larger building units or other suitable accommodations to provide facilities for dormitories, barracks, or places of confinement such as correctional institutions. Portable buildings containing sleeping modules are especially useful to provide sleeping accommodations in places where access is limited and conventional sleeping accommodations are difficult to construct. Buildings containing the sleeping modules are especially useful for sleeping accommodations on off shore oil rigs and for sleeping accommodations along highways, e.g. truck stops and the like.
