The
Challenge
Function + Design
First Responders are a crucial resource to any community to ensure safety and peace of mind.
Presidential Lakes located in Browns Hills, New Jersey reached out to Whitley, and Modular Genius to create a fire house and community center that would blend well architecturally with its wooded surroundings, and provide fire fighting crews an efficient and effective work place to ensure safety within the community.
UpGrade Clear Span System
The
Solution
Reduced Timelines + Innovative Engineering
Located in a remote area, onsite construction would have taken a longer period of time to complete the building, and would have resulted in a higher cost to the township.
Using off-site modular construction, the township was able to achieve the desired layout and look of the exterior in roughly half the time it would have taken onsite construction. Additional monetary and time savings were provided by utilizing Whitley's UpGrade Clear Span building system Modular enabling reduced foundation costs for the apparatus bay ; while also producing two and a half times less waste in the overall construction labor and materials.
