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.
