University of North Texas Selects Ramtech’s Modular Buildings for Major Construction Project
Ramtech continued to build on our recent success in the college market by securing a new $3.5 million contract to provide three new modular buildings to be located on the main campus of the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. The modular building portion of the three facilities totals 37,778 square feet, all of which will be used for the relocation of three of the University’s programs currently housed in the Stovall and Scoular Halls. Both of these Halls are being demolished to make way for a new $130 million University Union which will begin construction in June of this year. With an enrollment of over 35,000 students, UNT’s current union was built in the 1960s and was designed for a campus population of 17,000. The University expects the new union to play an important role in enrollment recruitment and retention, along with providing faculty and staff with a facility capable of hosting conferences, professional seminars and events that can enhance the academic reputation of the college.

First Baptist Frisco Shares Some Thoughts on Their New Modular Buildings
As we continue to develop projects for other churches and faith-based institutions, we recently went back to visit our friends at First Baptist Church in Frisco, Texas to check on how their new modular church buildings were working out. Ramtech provided the new facilities in order to meet the demand for additional space due to the Church’s rapidly growing congregation. Totaling 23,386 square feet, the project features a 6,750 square foot student worship center designed to accommodate a 13 foot high vaulted ceiling with exposed architectural ductwork and 12 classrooms. The other two modular buildings include an 8,060 square foot 14 classroom adult education facility with fellowship area, and a 8,576 square foot building with six classrooms and 14 private offices with adjacent administrative support areas for the ministry staff. The church has been very pleased with the buildings and plans to relocate them in the future when they move to a larger campus. We sat down with Steve Stege, Executive Pastor at FBC Frisco to hear his thoughts on modular construction and their experience in working with Ramtech.

Hubbard ISD Talks Ramtech and Permanent Modular Construction
After assisting the Hubbard Independent School District in lowering their original $12 million construction budget by 33% to $8 million, Ramtech provided a multi-facility project consisting of three buildings using the Accelerated Building System permanent modular construction approach. Included is a 9,856 square foot high school with six classrooms, a computer language lab, family and consumer science lab, two non-acid science labs, and a data room. The 13,440 square foot junior/senior central use wing provides three separate administration areas, a boardroom, full library, computer, business and chemistry labs, a large instructional use room, and a data room. The third building is a 6,272 square foot junior high school wing which contains four standard classrooms, two science labs, a life skills room with attached storage area, and its own data room. All of the buildings have a split-face block masonry exterior designed to match the existing school architecture. Hubbard Superintendent Randy O’Brien graciously went on camera to discuss the modular building project, and provided his insight on what it was like to work with Ramtech.

Life School of Dallas Modular Building Campus in the Spotlight
Organized as a charter school, Life School serves over 4,000 students at five locations around the Dallas, Texas area. When the school decided to expand their Oak Cliff area secondary school, they chose three 7,424 square foot eight-classroom modular buildings complete with connecting deck and ramp assemblies. Purchased through the Texas Buyboard and built using traditional modular contruction, each facility includes a private office, restrooms, storage area, and individual classrooms with a computer lab in the high school building. The buildings utilize nine wall-mounted HVAC units zoned for energy efficient heating and cooling, and include factory installed 26-gauge R-panel metal siding on the exterior, vinyl composition gypsum wall coverings, and durable high traffic carpet flooring.
