Architectural Excellence : This building consisted of 14 floors; all 12’ X 60’s consisting of classrooms, restroom facilities, offices, security offices and kitchen area. It is being used for a classrooms and office staff. The reason for utilizing a modular was the cost effectiveness as well as the ability to obtain such usable space in a short span of time. The customer contracted an Architect, who in conjunction with Williams Scotsman & Walden Structures, designed and implemented all their ideas into a modular that would at the end, look like a permanent building. Exterior windows were upgraded to take a different view, trims were added to change and seal the view of the seams that were exposed to the eye. Overhangs above exterior doors with upgraded lighting were also added. The use of a leveling parapet was used to provide a cleaner building profile. All the interior walls were painted drywall with a smooth finish. The 9-foot ceiling height gives the building an open feel.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : This was an application for a permanent setting using modular buildings was the most cost effective. The customer took a modular, which was a convenience for time and gave it the look of a permanent building. These buildings were designed to be re-used together as one large complex or to be used separately in two or three different applications. Working hand in hand with the Architects, GC and University Staff was a significant plus, to the project’s excellent outcome.

Commercial view was not an option to the customer, so making a view to please the eye was fully concentrated on. Roof Mounts HVAC’s were installed with a parapet to cover them up from the public eye as well as a lattice fence around the perimeter of the HVAC’s to help prevent any additional commercial view/feel of them. HVAC units were installed on ISO curbs to minimize vibration & sound transmission. This building was designed to give the students as well as staff members a feel of permanent building as well as the feel of comfort and serenity.
