Modular Administrative Building for Pharmaceutical Renovation
Arcadis, a contractor based in Massachusetts, undertook a high-profile project for a pharmaceutical company in Ohio involving renovating the second floor of their office building. The pharmaceutical company needed temporary swing space to accommodate its employees during the renovations. They opted for a wide-open BLOCS™ modular administrative building consisting of ten modular units, which would serve as workspace for 6 to 8 months.
Site Preparation and Installation Challenges
The project faced several site-specific challenges, including limited space, high-security requirements, and critical safety concerns. During installation, essential considerations included roof tie-offs, fall protection measures, and heightened awareness of working in enclosed, congested areas. To reduce disruption to daily operations, the modular units were stored in a staging lot while site preparations were in progress. These preparations involved removing light posts while preserving their concrete bases for future reinstatement. The installation team worked over the weekend to set the units, avoiding disruption during the workday and using an unobstructed parking lot to place the modules.
Overcoming Permitting Delays and Timeline Constraints
Despite initial plans for two complexes, the scope evolved into a single 10-unit complex with an accelerated timeline. The team encountered permitting challenges that temporarily halted progress, but the installation proceeded swiftly once resolved. The availability of new modular buildings for pharmaceutical applications helped mitigate delays. The temporary workspace was ready for occupancy within two weeks, with a switchback ramp system for ADA compliance.
Results: Quiet, Flexible Workspace for Critical Operations
The resulting open floor plan—free from support columns—provided employees with a flexible and unexpectedly quiet work environment, demonstrating the success of this modular solution during the renovation period.
