The
Challenge
High Quality + Timeline
Match Charter Public School is an innovative, high-performing free public school in Boston. It is widely recognized for its success in preparing students for college and careers. Match currently includes four campuses which span grades Pre- K through 12. With their achievements, Match is expanding to include an enrollment of 1,250 students. To accommodate, additional classroom space will be needed soon.
The
Solution
Teamwork + Experience
To develop the classroom buildings needed, modular construction was the obvious choice. Through a collaborative effort, Commodore Builders, Pope Industries, Studio G Architects, and Whitley Manufacturing were able to accelerate the construction process and reduce time and costs. Whitley Manufacturing built two classroom buildings (both two-story) totaling 60,000 sq. ft. (40,000 & 20,000) and a third building, single-story, 2400 sq. ft. gymnasium locker room, with a total of 82 modules. The layout consisted of both traditional classrooms along with smaller, more flexible meeting areas and conference rooms. Off-site modular construction included structural, framing, drywall, insulation, doors, windows, misc. finishes, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical.
