West Nyack NY -
Today 5 modular units were lifted off their wheels
and placed on the site of the Jesse Kaplan School.
These portable building components were manufactured
in Pennsylvania and transported to Rockland BOCES
last week. The units are in good condition but
still need some on-site work to be completed before
they can be utilized.
The project came from a
study Michael Shilale Architects (MSA) performed
several years ago looking at space utilization and
how the existing school can be expanded. The
first phase of the program, a four classroom
addition is now near completion. A new type of
modular construction, called ‘floorless’, is being
pursued which will allow a slab on grade building.
This will be a more durable, long lasting solution.
The modular construction method was pursued for
financing purposes, since this allows the buildings
to be leased, a much more efficient way for any BOCES
to finance construction projects. The added
benefit is the speed at which the construction takes
place and the minimum of on site construction time
and disturbance.
