Claim:
A building module, comprising: a rectangular, three-dimensional truss framed with four steel end columns and steel beams extending between the columns; a floor panel extending between the four end columns; wall panels; a roof panel extending from two of the end columns, parallel to the floor panel, and terminating at a spaced distance from the other two end columns; a first rectangular folding panel having one edge hingedly attached to the edge of the roof panel termination and an opposed, free edge; a second rectangular folding panel, larger than the first rectangular folding panel, having one edge hingedly supported between the other two end columns; whereby the first and second rectangular folding panels may be folded into positions parallel to the roof panel with their ends opposite to the hinged edges in overlapping relationship, or the first and second rectangular hinge panels may be positioned at angles to the roof panel so that projections of the planes of the first and second folding panels intersect one another, forming an elevated roof section over the portion of the module under the first and second rectangular folding panels relative to the elevation of the rest of the roof section of the module.
