Portable and Modular Buildings have always been an integral part in the design of school facilities.  They serve the purpose of being relatively quick and relocatable.  They allow for temporary solutions to immediate space problems and sometimes long term problems. 

The requirements for processing through the state officials is basically the same as any other project with the exception that the building manufacture usually processes their own building to predetermined specifications.  As architects, we work with the client to determine function, siting, appearance and coordination of the entire design and installation process. 

Throughout our 40 year history of architecture and engineering we have designed hundreds of portable buildings.  We have worked for 2 different manufactures designing and processing their modular buildings. We have developed systems for these manufactures and I've also developed my own modular system for the Mendocino County School District.   To the left is a brief list of recent portable building projects as well as a few photos of portable buildings we designed.
