A secure “U” configuration was created for Skinner Montessori by installing the buildings with a singular administrative checkpoint and coded entry before access to the classrooms. Setting the buildings to grade level made the exterior more aesthetically appealing and increased the sense of permanence. ADA ramps, landings, and stairs were eliminated by pouring concrete walkways right up to the entries for easy access into the buildings. Interconnecting the three building roofs also created space above the ceiling. That space was used for routing sprinkler piping, fire/security alarm systems and the phone/data systems without having to go underground at higher costs. Utilizing modular construction saved the school time by allowing for a quick move in and saved on expenses by increasing facility flexibility.

Modular buildings are prefabricated, portable and customizable structures, which can be temporary or permanent. Sections of the building called modules are built in a factory controlled environment. Once completed each module or section is transported and set in the desired location. The following are just a few industries the have benefited from the efficiency of modular construction:
