Pacific Mobile Structures received a first-place award at the
2024 World of Modular Annual Convention and Tradeshow for their
project that provides a dedicated space for "at-risk" youth and
their families in Boise,
Idaho.
CHEHALIS, Wash., April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pacific Mobile Structures
is honored to announce that their project, The Bridge Program
Building, completed for Ada County Juvenile in Boise, Idaho was awarded first place in the
'Permanent Correctional Under 10,000-Square-Feet' category at the
2024 World of Modular Annual Convention and Tradeshow.
"Our Pacific Mobile Structure family is
proud to work closely with our community to achieve a rewarding
solution for a unique program that focuses on building a strong
next generation."
"We are very proud to be part of this project supporting the
Bridge Program. Using our construction methods, we were able to
provide a cost-effective building that allowed members to begin
serving youth quicker than if traditional site-built construction
was utilized," said President and CEO of Pacific Mobile Structures,
Garth Haakenson.
The Modular Building Institute (MBI) is the international
non-profit trade association serving the modular construction
industry. On a mission to expand the use of offsite and modular
construction through innovative construction practices, outreach
and education to the construction community and customers, and
recognition of high-quality modular designs and facilities.
Traditionally, its members have consisted of manufacturers,
contractors, and dealers. However, MBI strives to keep up with the
latest trends in the modular/offsite construction industry and has
expanded its membership over the years to include architects,
owners/developers, and general contractors.
The Bridge Program Building project provides a dedicated
building for Ada County Juvenile's "Bridge Program" that aims to
catch "at-risk" youth before they enter the juvenile and welfare
systems. The program provides counseling for youth and their
families, along with amenities such as a full kitchen, showers, and
a laundry room.
Ada County Juvenile turned to modular construction for a lower
overall project cost due to a more predictable scope and timeline.
They put the project out to bid and Pacific Mobile Structures was
awarded the bid due to our ability to value engineer the project.
Pacific Mobile Structures provided the 24' by 60' building that
they needed and placed it in an existing overflow parking lot
across from the juvenile center. While the two buildings are
independent and separated from one another, they are connected
through telecommunications which was routed under the parking lot
and the street.
The building's interior is warm and inviting and features a
kitchen, washer and dryer, large windows, restroom with a shower,
and soundproofing barriers in the walls for increased privacy
during counseling sessions. The building is set as close as
possible to grade and exterior features a pad-mounted HVAC system,
dormer and awning over the front door, exterior paint in two
colors, and a concrete handicap ramp.
"Our Pacific Mobile Structure family is proud to work closely
with our community to achieve a rewarding solution for a unique
program that focuses on building a strong next generation," said
Kenna Draper, Pacific Mobile Sales
Manager.
