Precast Concrete Modular Storage Building | Victory Field, Watertown MA

Permanent Precast Concrete Storage Building for Victory Field

As part of the City of Watertown’s Victory Field Phase II renovation, Triumph Modular delivered a 504-square-foot precast concrete modular building to provide secure athletic equipment storage. The project was part of a larger improvement program at Watertown’s premier athletic complex, which included renovations to the track, fields, courts, seating, accessibility, and supporting site infrastructure.

The permanent modular storage building consists of three separate units, each equipped with a lockable overhead rolling door. This configuration allows multiple athletic groups to independently access and secure their equipment. Electricity and interior lighting support daily operations, while the unconditioned interior provides practical, durable storage space without unnecessary mechanical systems.

Triumph’s First Precast Concrete Modular Construction Project

The Victory Field project marked Triumph Modular’s first application of precast concrete modular construction. Working with factory partner Shea Concrete Products, Triumph delivered a permanent storage facility manufactured using precast concrete modules rather than traditional wood- or steel-framed construction.

The concrete modules were produced in a controlled factory environment, allowing the manufacturing team to manage curing, finish quality, and construction before delivery. Each module left the factory approximately 98% complete, reducing the amount of work required at the site.

Precast concrete was particularly well suited for this application. Designed for decades of use in an active public recreation setting, the building offers resistance to weather, moisture, wear, rot, and warping while requiring minimal ongoing maintenance.

Durable Exterior Designed to Complement Victory Field

The exterior features a faux-brick texture cast directly into the concrete walls and painted on-site. This finish gives the modular storage building the appearance of traditional masonry construction while retaining the durability and efficiency of precast concrete.

The completed building complements the renovated athletic complex and provides a permanent-looking structure designed to withstand frequent use and New England weather conditions.

One-Day Modular Building Installation

The building’s compact footprint and off-site construction method were especially valuable at Victory Field, where construction was already underway as part of the broader Phase II renovation.

The project required just 15 days of design, 32 days of factory construction, and one day for installation. With the three modules substantially completed before delivery, Triumph was able to minimize on-site construction activity and coordinate installation with the larger renovation schedule.

This accelerated construction process reduced disruption around the athletic complex while providing the City of Watertown with a permanent storage facility tailored to its needs.

Permanent Modular Storage for Public Recreation Facilities

The completed Victory Field storage building provides the City of Watertown with secure, low-maintenance equipment storage for multiple athletic programs. Its three-unit configuration allows separate users to manage their equipment while sharing one permanent facility.

For Triumph Modular, the project established a new capability in precast concrete modular construction. It demonstrates how factory-built concrete structures can provide durable, permanent facilities for parks, athletic complexes, and other public-use applications, even when site access is limited and construction schedules are demanding.
