Eight-Unit 5,700 sq ft Green Modular Classroom Building Delivered in 6 Weeks to Harvard Yard

Harvard University needed a healthy, sustainable home for its childcare centers during renovations. Triumph Modular delivered an eight-unit, 5,700 sq ft high-performance modular classroom building in only six weeks – creating a bright, green temporary space for the Harvard Yard Child Care Center and later the Oxford Street Daycare Cooperative.

The Challenge

Provide premium childcare classrooms on historic Cambridge campus fast, with top-tier sustainability and indoor air quality, while keeping the building fully relocatable for future use.

Solution: 6-Week Turnkey Green Modular Classroom Building

Eight factory-built modular units were craned onto site, connected, and handed over in record time – proving permanent-quality modular construction can be ultra-fast and ultra-green.

Key Features of This Modular Classroom Building

  • 5,700 sq ft across eight modular units
  • Solar tube skylights for abundant natural daylight
  • GREENGUARD-certified insulation & low-VOC finishes
  • Smart HVAC with fresh-air demand control
  • Lighting sensors & white reflective roof for energy savings
  • Recycled carpet tiles & exterior sunshades
  • 50-year lifespan & fully relocatable design

“When you walk inside, there is an immediate sense that this is a healthy environment. That’s a good comfort for parents and staff.”

— Mark Anderson, Architect, Anderson and Anderson
