BOULDER MOD FACTORY
Planning and design collaboration with the City of Boulder and Boulder Valley School District for a pre-engineered metal building that is used for the operation of an affordable housing modular factory, known as "Boulder Mod". The Boulder Mod consists of an open plan layout, a 333-kW rooftop photovoltaic array, and energy-efficient all-electric building systems to achieve cutting-edge sustainable operation.
The Boulder Mod Factory marks a milestone in the world of modular building, representing multiple firsts for the industry. Boulder Mod is the first-ever Net Zero modular building factory in the country. It is the first modular factory to be managed by Habitat for Humanity as well as the first school-age modular construction training center in the US, allowing high school students to learn valuable trade skills while giving back to their community.
