Award Winner : McDonald Modular Solutions, Inc.

Architectural Excellence : This 2,390 sq. ft. Dental office appears small from the outside, yet has all of the state of the art features found in large Dental facilities; i.e. full laboratory, x-ray / imaging, sterile work station, (5) operatories, multiple offices, consulting rooms, spacious waiting room and even a main entrance vestibule.
The building is set at grade and also uses “Frame-less” floor construction. The frame-less design allowed us to set the building as low as possible and is consistent with a permanent structure. As soon as the modular sections were set, roof trusses were delivered and set the next day. The steep roof design reflects the northern resort area style and the tall surrounding pines. A large dormer element that breaks up the roofline was installed on the most visible side of the building.
The building also has site installed stonework and clapboard siding with shake accented gables adds a warm, human and less commercial character more fitting for the rustic wooded setting in N

Cost Energy Effectiveness : MMS partnered with Rockford Construction, an established General Contractor with impressive operations in the North West corner of the state. Rockford efficiently handled the site related portion of the project with their tremendous resources in this otherwise sparse area for contracting. Their contacts and access to resources coupled with our modular building advantage allowed us to complete the entire structure in approximately 90 days. During the entire construction process, the Dentist was able to keep her dental practice fully operational in the existing office building on the same lot. She was able to take a weeks’ vacation and was completely moved into her new clinic the following week without missing a beat.

Technical Innovation : As mentioned, this permanent Dental Office was built as a “frame-less” modular. The modules were dropped into this tight location with a crane; which we then used to stack to frames onto one carrier. The frames were then taken back to the factory and re-used for other projects.
