Peabody Terrace Modular Childcare Center | Harvard University Project

Eight-Unit 5,760 sq ft Sustainable Modular Classroom Building for Harvard Peabody Terrace Childcare Center

Harvard University needed green, high-quality childcare space in a dense Cambridge site with zero room for error. Triumph Modular delivered an eight-unit, 5,760 sq ft sustainable modular classroom building using in-stock units – complete with low-VOC finishes, spray foam insulation, and daylight-maximizing windows – all installed safely around tight urban constraints.

The Challenge

Fit a full childcare facility into a confined Peabody Terrace courtyard with no staging area, strict permitting, and an aggressive timeline while hitting Harvard’s sustainability standards on a budget.

Solution: Precision Urban Install of 8 Modular Units

Eight factory-ready modular units were delivered one-by-one, craned over existing structures, and set with surgical timing – overcoming Cambridge transport rules and turning a challenging site into a turnkey childcare center.
