About Market Street Early Childhood Center of the Ironbound
Innovative Education Programs, headquartered near Newark, provides curriculum, equipment and facilities for educational organizations. Their offices serve the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Their Need
IEP of Newark was awarded a grant to provide educational service for three and four year olds in struggling neighborhoods in central Newark. A failed project would be rejected by the neighborhood. Both cost and timing were again a factor. Tight city budgets and local politics could shut the project down. The beginning of the school year was also looming. The building also had to be built tough to withstand the rigors of troubled neighborhoods.

The Whitley Solution
The organization contracted with I-R Mobile Modular to manage the project and to find a builder. Due to the complexity and the short time frame I-R turned to Whitley. Ground breaking came in the late spring while construction had already begun on the complex structures at our Indiana factories. Within four months, in early September, Market Street was opened to the public which has since pointed to the building as a sign of rebirth and a source of pride. It also came in under budget, to the delight of everyone in Newark.
