Maryland Portable Concrete 2-Story Office

Additional Info

Award Winner : Modular Genius, Inc.

Architectural Excellence : A concrete batch plant located in Baltimore, MD was in need of a new room office building to house their dispatch and operations crew. The existing dilapidated building was in need of replacement and the company owners wanted a better work environment for their employees and for themselves. The existing building site was selected for the new two story modular building. High Rib steel siding was selected to match the surrounding buildings at the facility. A new concrete parking pad was poured around the building to allow for employees and visitors to park at the new building location. Two pre-fabricated aluminum stair towers were designed to fit within the tight space on site. The interior of the building was configured to fit work efficiently with the employee work flow.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The modular building was constructed by Mark Line Industries of PA along with the pre-fabricated stair towers constructed by Up Side Innovations. In partnership with these two companies, the project was accomplished in an efficient manner while staying within the cost perimeters set aside to accomplish the task. The modular sections were set in one day by Modular Genius’s installation team. A large crane was used to hoist the modules from the new building pad in the front of the property. The pre-fabricated stair and ramp company was a key player in the success of the project. They met all state and local guidelines for accessibility, provided an accurate design of the stair towers and paid close attention to the scheduled coordination of activities. This growing industrial facility needed the flexibility and relocatability of modular in case they had to relocate the building one day to another part of the facility.

Technical Innovation : The congested space and harsh physical environment of this industrial facility required technical innovation to construct their building thus off site modular construction made sense and was selected. Four modular sections were constructed to house the two story building.. The first floor was constructed off site as a complete module. Porcelain tile was selected as a high-quality flooring product due to the harsh conditions from the site and for a cleaner look. Low E window glazing as well as siding and roofing colors insured reflective features of the building to reduce energy expenditures.
