Fort Worth Country Day

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:05:50 +0000

When Fort Worth Country Day School required a temporary elementary school during the demolition and construction of a new permanent facility, they turned to a combination of our standard double-classroom and quad classroom buildings to meet the need. Known as the Lower School Village, the complex provides for 10 double classrooms with restrooms and one multipurpose open floorplan quad classroom. The project was split into two areas with eight of the classrooms grouped together and connected using a site constructed concrete walkway with wood decks, ramps, and landings, while the other two classrooms were grouped together with the quad building. All of the buildings utilize R-Panel metal siding along with a metal roof. The interiors feature VCG walls and carpet tile flooring.

Eanes ISD

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 10:50:37 +0000

Ramtech developed this variation of our industry standard double classroom building with the school district and Pfluger Architects. Significant changes to the design of the standard portables include an open ceiling with an exposed painted truss and spiral ductwork, and pendant lighting with full height projected windows for more natural lighting.

Each room is outfitted with a sink and extensive plastic laminate casework, and Kinetex composite tile flooring was used for longer wear. A connecting corridor serves a vestibule with a common restroom, allowing for shared space while helping with sound attenuation. The heating and cooling are accommodated using split systems for each classroom. The exterior uses multi-colored R-Panel metal siding and roof overhangs with a soffit.

One of two buildings installed at Blinn College’s Bryan campus, this standard 6,272 square foot six classroom modular building was relocated and modified by taking five of the six classrooms and adding additional walls and doors to provide pooled office space for the college’s adjunct faculty. The remaining classroom was divided into four private offices and a conference and meeting room. The building exterior has a standard light stone R-panel metal siding with a thin brick veneer wainscot for the skirting, and an end wall façade designed to match the adjacent buildings. Articulated entries with ramps and canopies to match the existing campus structures were also built, along with connecting walkways to the other buildings on campus.
