Seven-Module 6,385 sq ft Energy-Efficient Modular Classroom Addition at Whittier Middle School

Haverhill Public Schools expanded Whittier Middle School with a seven-module, 6,385 sq ft permanent modular wing that meets Massachusetts stretch energy code, delivers six modern classrooms, and was installed without triggering costly upgrades to the existing building.

The Challenge

Add 228 student seats fast while achieving top-tier energy performance and full MAAB accessibility—all on a tight urban site with zero interruption to the school year.

Solution: Precision-Engineered 14×70 Modules on Sono-Tubes

Seven oversized 14 ft × 70 ft modules were factory-built, craned onto sixty-four sono-tube piers (36″ above grade), and connected under a custom aluminum canopy that cleverly bridges to the old building without code-triggering the legacy structure.
