Award Winning Four-Unit 2,835 sq ft Temporary Dormitory Keeps Lynn Firefighters On-Shift During Renovation

4/23/26 – Triumph Modular Awarded Honorable Mention for Temporary Workforce Housing (Under 10,000 Sq. Ft.) at annual World Of Modular Event hosted by the Modular Building Institute in Las Vegas.

When the City of Lynn Fire Department faced an extensive 2025 renovation of their main firehouse, they needed a high-quality temporary dormitory—and they needed it fast. Triumph Modular delivered a four-unit, 2,835 sq ft modular facility with eight private sleeping rooms, allowing 24/7 operations to continue without sending crews off-site.

The Challenge

Renovations required the entire existing dorm to be vacated, yet the department could not afford to lose response readiness. The city demanded move-in by July 3, 2025—giving the winning contractor only seven months from award to occupancy.

Solution: Under 60-Day Build & Set

Contract awarded December 2024. With the site prepped and utilities ready, Triumph factory-built four modules off-site, transported them in May 2025, and completed set, finishing, and utility connections in less than two months. Firefighters moved in exactly on the July 3 deadline—on time and on budget.
