case study summary

A city requested a proposal requested a proposal for a complete turn-key construction and installation of a classroom addition to an existing structure. The building would be occupied by middle school students, each classroom to accommodate 28 students, utility rooms, office suite, corridor, foyer, associated restrooms and custom glass connecting corridor. The addition needed to fit seamlessly with the façade of the existing structure.

The exterior finishes of custom fiber cement and specialized trim matches the color and design of the existing facility. A new fully enclosed custom glass connecting foyer and corridor was added between the existing facility and new construction. Exterior ramps with deck and handrails are constructed in accordance with the ADA and the state board. Modular construction was selected as the ideal solution to complete this project on schedule with minimal disruption to the existing school campus. And before the scheduled start date arrived, the city was proud to welcome their students back to their new facility.

A fast-track modular school addition designed to seamlessly expand the school while maintaining campus operations. Completed on an accelerated schedule, the project blended new construction with the existing facility through coordinated design, sustainable materials, and minimal site disruption – allowing students to return on time to a modernized learning environment
