Arlington Classics – Bowen Rd. Campus

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:10:59 +0000

This 9,856 square foot 10-classroom wing addition for Arlington Classics Academy was built using Ramtech’s traditional permanent modular construction approach in order to maximize the cost savings and provide for a faster construction timeline. The modular school building accommodates additional 7th and 8th grade students at the Charter School’s middle school campus.

The requirements for the new facility called for full site development including permits, geotechnical and civil design, as well as landscaping, extension of the utilities, and integrating the fire alarm system with the existing structure. The interior has vinyl covered gypsum wall covering and carpet in each of the nine classrooms and computer lab, while the exterior incorporated a combination of Luxbrick thin brick veneer and UltraCrete textured coating to meet the city’s masonry requirements and to blend in with the school’s existing structures.
