Award Winner : Satellite Shelters, Inc.

Architectural Excellence : The buildings were comprised of (4) 14’x72’ modules with a custom floor plan that provided an open classroom environment.

Each classroom was provided with cabinetry and counters around the perimeter to provide storage and a work surface for the projects assigned to the students.

Colors were chosen in earth tones to compliment the natural environment in Colorado with a dark exterior siding and roof shingle colors to take advantage of the solar heat transference in this climate.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The climate in Colorado required upgraded building specifications with 2”x6” exterior wall studs with a continuous air infiltration barrier and R-19 insulation. The roof system was provided with a vapor barrier and R-38 insulation.

Wall mounted HVAC units were provided with 15kw heat strips and 3 ton air-conditioners with commercial room ventilators.

The two buildings were installed on the site with a common entry that reduced the amount of wind and weather in the front doors.

Technical Innovation : The Bayfield School District required additional classroom space installed over the summer and chose modular classrooms as the most expedient solution.

Custom floor plans were designed to provide an open learning environment with building specifications that met their needs and budget.

The site was graded to achieve the optimal floor elevation and the buildings were installed on site with a common entry close to the existing school to minimize disruption of the student traffic between buildings.
