5,760 Sq Ft Modular Childcare Center Installed in Tight Urban Site
Harvard University partnered with Triumph Modular to develop a sustainable modular childcare center for Peabody Terrace using eight in-stock modular building units totaling 5,760 square feet. The project team, including D.W. Arthur and Associates, collaborated to create a flexible, high-quality temporary childcare facility designed to meet both educational needs and sustainability goals.
A key project objective was maintaining green design elements within a limited budget. To achieve this, the building incorporated low-VOC interior paint and flooring, large exterior windows to maximize natural daylight, and closed-cell spray foam insulation. This insulation not only exceeded energy code requirements but also served to reduce ambient noise from nearby construction activity.
Installation presented several logistical challenges due to the confined nature of the urban site. With no space available for on-site unit staging, Triumph’s operations team expertly managed the coordination and timing of each modular delivery. The project overcame strict Cambridge transportation and permitting constraints while adhering to an aggressive construction schedule, resulting in a modular childcare center delivered safely, efficiently, and on time.
