Temporary Administrative Office Space – Over 11,750 Square Feet

Number of Modules:  20
Total Footprint:  117'-6" x 100'
Total Square Footage: 11,750

Days to Complete Project :  88 days

Architectural Excellence:
The Administration Building designed cooperatively by M Space with BSC has an overall footprint of 11 7'6" x 100'0". It is made up of twenty modular units totaling 11,750 square feet. It contains a series of forty-four offices of various sizes, conference rooms, common space and ADA compliant restrooms.

This administrative building is located on campus with a color scheme that blends in with the existing college structures. The design and layout is one that is sensitive to the comfort concerns of its administrative personnel during the initial four year lease term. Employee work areas are an upgrade from their previous office space. In addition, finishes were picked that were similar to the existing site built buildings.

The interior finishes include vinyl covered gypsum wall board, suspended acoustical ceilings, commercial grade carpet and VCT in all common areas. Other features include solid core wood doors with corresponding locksets and hardware that match BSC standards.

The exterior finish features smooth Hardie cementious vertical panel siding. The main entrance has two double aluminum store front energy efficient doors. The EPDM roofing is complimented with an architectural awning over the entrance.

Technical Innovation:
The VAV system with electrical AC and gas heat was designed to ensure that each office could reasonably control their own environment while reducing energy usage and operational costs. The design requirements were met by using a Therma-Fuser System which allows for separate set points for heating and cooling throughout the entire building

Cost Effectiveness/Energy Efficiency:
BSC constantly strives to reduce costs associated with energy use and general maintenance. To keep utility costs down, the building incorporates a VAV system with electric AC with gas heat. The double store front door entry acts as an air gap to neutralize heat and/or cold penetration within the building interior.

To reduce maintenance costs, materials were selected that were durable, readily available and easily serviced. All hardware, fire alarm and communications systems are identical to what is used throughout the entire college campus.

The building IS designed to be easily dismantled and re-located to another site in part or in whole. The ability to remarket this facility in other states was also taken into consideration during the design and manufacturing phase of the project.

Testimonial:
"I was thrilled with the modular building experience I had with M Space. When they said they could do this project quickly. I had no idea how fast the modular process could be. I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to working with M Space again."
