Technical Innovation : Since this building is designed around three doublewides set up in a “U” shape the inside module roofs were hinged in the factory to reduce the labor required to complete the building on-site. The communications equipment room has its own dedicated HVAC and a HALO grounding system and a 4ft deep crawl space was created below the building with a concrete floor to make accessing the wiring that ties all the equipment together much easier.
