Hopkins & Elmwood Modular Classroom Additions

Two Modular School Projects Completed in One Summer

Triumph Modular completed modular classroom additions at both Hopkins and Elmwood Elementary Schools in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. These new modular classroom additions were designed to seamlessly match the existing school buildings with red brick and tan stucco exteriors, mirrored windows, and coordinated interior color schemes.

The projects kicked off in February 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began to escalate. Despite the challenges, Triumph Modular delivered both school additions in just 18 weeks. By completing 95% of the work off-site, crews were on location for only 20 days, minimizing disruption during the summer break and ensuring readiness for the fall semester.

Key advantages of modular construction included cost certainty, an accelerated schedule, and reduced on-site impact. These benefits made modular the ideal choice for the Hopkinton school district’s urgent classroom expansion needs.

Innovative Design & Energy Efficiency

Each school addition used four 14′ x 60′ modules stacked 2-over-2, with a fifth stacked lengthwise to connect to the existing buildings. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM), Triumph developed a precise and effective connection strategy. Interior classroom sizes matched the original 25′ x 28′ layouts, with an added 100 sq. ft. breakout room for flexible learning. Highly efficient electric heating and cooling units were installed to support comfort through New England’s varied climate.

Award-Winning Modular Education Project

In collaboration with MODLOGIQ and Lincoln Architects, LLC, Triumph Modular earned an Honorable Mention from the Modular Building Institute in the “Permanent Education Under 10,000 sq. ft.” category for the Hopkins Elementary School addition. This recognition underscores the project’s design quality, efficiency, and successful execution during a complex time.
