From Construction Dive: The Modular Building Institute recently presented awards to North American projects that demonstrated distinctive achievements in offsite construction, including everything from small retail locations and restroom pods to massive offices, schools, hospitals and hotels. The projects honored companies that found unique ways to incorporate the use of offsite construction to cut project timelines and enhance efficiency.
Here are some of the notable honorees from across the Modular Building Institute’s various categories in 2021:
Coburn Crossing Apartments
Coburn Crossing Apartments consist of five three-level buildings providing 139 units across 116,586 square feet of workforce housing in Truckee, California, near Lake Tahoe and several prominent ski resorts.
Nashua Builders produced two of the buildings which housed 54 modules and 47 apartment units. Inside, the buildings consist of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom dwellings. The exterior is fiber cement and metal siding with vinyl windows. Mansard roofs were added on site, because they couldn’t be built in the factory due to height restrictions.
Allegiant Stadium Ticket Office
The unique, modern design of Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, required an alternative to a stick-built ticket office. The $1.8 billion Mortenson-McCarthy joint venture enlisted Xtreme Cubes to construct the ticket office off site as the stadium was built on site.
Xtreme constructed steel moment frame cubes for the project, allowing them to be moved directly from delivery trucks using only a telehandler. The main ticket booth is nearly 2,500 square feet and serves as the entryway to the stadium.
