Architectural Excellence : This modular classroom consisted of two 12’x44’ modules. The building was installed on a concrete pier foundation, with the threshold of the doors at 30 inches. This method of installation allowed us to install a standard thirty-foot ramp system, in return lowered the cost of constructing a pressure treated ramp system. To provide clean architectural lines, we used 12” wide, interlocking pieces of .024 aluminum siding with no exposed fasteners.
The exterior is designer beige siding with brown shingles on a 2:12 pitch roof. The interior is a combination of a steel, commercial grade, 2’x4’ grid ceiling with lay-in acoustical tiles and 26oz commercial grade carpeting which provide a good acoustical learning/teaching environment.
Genuine oak veneered plywood paneling was used to enhance the interior. With the quality of the finishes, our client stated that the parents were very pleased with the interior of the classroom because it does not look like the “typical trailer”.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : As this elementary school ran out of classroom space, this temporary modular building provided the most cost-effective solution with the speed of delivery without compromising the quality of the building.
A 30 ga. Galvanized steel underbelly aided as both a moisture and air infiltration barrier into the building. The insulation values are R-19 floor, R-11 sidewalls and R-30 ceiling. The use of perimeter frames in lieu of outrigger frames decreased the number and cost of concrete piers thereby lowering the cost in the set of the building.

Technical Innovation : During the manufacturing process for a 24’x44’ classroom building, we used two 12’x44’ with10” Jr. I-beam perimeter frames and 8” Jr. I-beam cross members 4’ on center.
This method of production ensures that the floors can be installed at a job site with the two halves touching, just as they were manufactured. Installation time is faster and the buildings can be relocated many times without the fear of poor mate-line connections. Interlocking 12” pieces of .024 aluminum siding are used in lieu of 4’ wide sheets of .019 siding. The pieces are stapled into place in the interlock, eliminating the poor aesthetics of the exposed fasteners normally used.
