Ramtech added to our long collection of Modular Building Institute Awards of Distinction trophies by receiving two awards at this year’s 42nd annual 2025 World of Modular Conference and Tradeshow held April 7 – l0 at the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. A record 1,741 attendees gathered at the sold-out conference which focused on key themes including affordable housing, the current evolution of construction, and an introduction to modular construction.

Ramtech received our first first-place award in the Relocatable Modular Assembly category for our 26,200 square foot five-gate airport terminal extension for Denver International Airport’s Concourse A East ground loading facility. The building extends and expands the initial modular building Ramtech constructed for DIA in 2017. The Type II modular building was comprised of thirty-six 52-foot modules with open web steel trusses and perimeter structural and sub-floor shear walls which were oriented end-to-end to provide a 250 foot clear span facility that sits atop a proprietary stacked CMU pier foundation which was bonded to the existing tarmac surface. The industrial metal siding provides a clean exterior look with large windows and white and gray metal siding to match the original modular building and complement the sculpted canopy design of the adjacent DIA permanent structure. The building meets the standards set for the FAA’s compliant passenger gate waiting areas, including a 20-foot-wide continuous walkway and space for high-stooled charging workstations.

Ramtech also received an honorable mention trophy for our Los Alamos National Laboratory multi-use office building entry in the Permanent Modular Office category. Using our proprietary slab-on-grade ‘floorless’ modular system, the 23,300 square foot Type II two-story facility offers a clear span approach to the overall structure allowing for versatile space planning that includes 14 private offices, extensive open workspaces, upper and lower-level breakrooms, four communications rooms, men’s and women’s restrooms, modular elevator, and mechanical and electrical rooms. The building exterior was designed to complement the industrial nature of the adjacent area by using horizontal steel siding panels, while the interior utilizes a combination of carpet tile, porcelain tile and non-static VCT, along with textured and painted walls and 2×2 revealed edge acoustical tile in a slim-line grid system for the ceilings.

As a full-service design-build construction company, Ramtech has developed many keys to our success since our founding in 1982.

Ramtech was honored to be invited to the ribbon cutting for the new gymnasium and storm shelter facility that we constructed on the campus of North Texas Collegiate Academy in Little Elm. Matt Slataper and Randy Van Zandt were on hand as special guests of the charter school as the building was dedicated in front of students and staff members.

The construction of a permanent classroom facility that Ramtech completed last year came with a condition that the school also develop a storm shelter facility to protect students and staff from the dangers of formidable storms. North Texas collegiate Academy opted to build a gymnasium with an attached storm shelter to meet the code requirement to accommodate all of the students and faculty at the school. The storm shelter section is comprised of four separate rooms with an occupancy rating of 428 people. The building includes an inverter system to power emergency lights and air and water systems if the power happens to be cut.

The gymnasium has a UIL approved full-size basketball court with retractable goals and collapsible bleachers along one side. Ramtech was also responsible for the site development and utilities, including a twelve-inch fire loop, two vaults for the fire sprinkler and backflow preventers, and the installation of a new fire hydrant. The surrounding area was also landscaped with an irrigation system to accommodate the watering of the grass sod and 58 new trees and 359 shrubs.

In December Ramtech had the opportunity Ramtech to continue contributing in our annual investment in sponsoring grants to the Mansfield Independent School District Education Foundation. This year two donations were given for the ‘I Can Code That!’ grant program at two of the district’s schools.

At D. P. Morris Elementary, teachers. Ms. Madison Chandlee, Ms. Sarah Moore, Ms. Anallely Beranza, Ms. Veronica Talamantes, Ms. Jocelyn Serrato, and Ms. Alma Helbert collaborated on the program Light Up OUR Learning! The grant will allow them to purchase a light table and manipulatives for both literacy and math stations to allow students to explore shapes, colors, letters to build words and support fine motor skill development while they trace, draw, and manipulate objects.

At Roberta Tipps Academy where Ms. Camie Wlaker, Ms. Shea Stapleton, Ms. Jennifer Perez, and Ms. Sarah Williams wrote a grant for I Can Code That! This grant will build STEM skills at an early age and spark an interest for our students! With this grant, the students will learn the basic concepts of coding through simple LEGO building kits.

In making the grants, Matt Slataper expressed Ramtech’s commitment to the program by stating, “We were grateful for the opportunity to support the teachers and young scholars through the MISD Foundation’s grants program this year. We’re blessed to be able to invest in the next generation through a foundation we’ve held dear for more than 20 years.”
