Fairfax County Corridor Quiet Room

Additional Info

Award Winner : Modular Genius, Inc.

Architectural Excellence : Fairfax County Virginia contracted Modular Genius to install a new 240 SF pre-engineered modular building connected directly to an existing bus terminal. The space was designed as a rest area for drivers to decompress between routes and shifts. Modular Genius’ scope included site prep work, installation of the landing and railing system, canopy, relocation of site storm clean out, new feeders to connect to existing electrical main and existing fire alarm control panel, tie-in of the fire control system, construction of related finishes lighting, power, and signage.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : If the Fairfax County Quiet Room were site built, the construction would have had to take place on weekends or after hours due to the heavy bus movement and pedestrian traffic. Use of modular construction practices eliminated these special requirements and thus reduced overall construction costs.

Technical Innovation : As a bus terminal for the Fairfax County Corridor the site endures constant heavy traffic. Modular construction presented a solution to limit the site disturbance and reduce the risk of injury to Fairfax County personnel. To further reduce site work, fiber cement siding was installed in place of brick.
