Award Winner : WillScot Mobile Mini

Architectural Excellence : With a growing number of American troops returning from their tours of duty, the military base at Fort Meade needed space to provide assistance to these soldiers and their families. Aramis Construction chose two modular office buildings as the solution to provide useful services to our troops as they transition back to civilian life. The Warrior Transition Unit and Soldier’s Family Assistance Center provide everything a returning soldier needs when returning to civilian life including: psychiatric care, housing assistance, and acclimation training. The permanent space features a childcare play area, custom kitchen with counter tops and cabinetry, offices, and a spacious conference room. Vinyl siding was installed in an effort to maintain base standards and compliment existing buildings.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : A minimum of R-15 insulation was installed in the ceiling space, the walls include R-11 insulation, and R-30 insulation was included below the sub-floor. Energy efficient HVAC units as well as programmable thermostats were used to reduce energy consumption by the end user. The accelerated design and manufacturing process, coupled with simultaneous site preparation, enabled the buildings to open on time and be operational sooner, providing a much-needed service to our country’s heroes
