Dormitories - Modular Building Applications
Increases in higher education enrollment can lead to residence space crunches on campus. When faced with a shortage of living space, a growing number of colleges and universities are considering modular buildings.
With Williams Scotsman's Concurrent Construction™ process, durable prefabricated structures are manufactured off-campus and then skillfully assembled on the site. The process saves money, lessens disruption, reduces the number of change orders and accelerates the time to occupancy. That means students can move in and get settled more quickly – and colleges can obtain rental revenue sooner – than if traditional construction methods were used.
Advancements is design capabilities make today's modular buildings difficult to distinguish from stick-built structures. Williams Scotsman will work closely with your design team to assure the architectural elements of all modular dormitories harmonize well with other buildings on campus.
On the inside, floor plans may be configured to include all the necessary features of a secure, comfortable living space for students, including:
- Bedrooms and suites
- Restrooms and shower areas
- Kitchen areas
- Study areas
- Common areas and sitting rooms
- RA area/office
- TV and game rooms
- Vending machine rooms
- ADA-compliant elements
- Wi-fi
