Ramtech Begins Construction on Avalon (TX) ISD Permanent Modular Building
Mansfield, TX (PRWEB) June 30, 2014 -- Design-build construction firm Ramtech Building Systems of Mansfield, Texas has announced that the construction phase will begin this week on a new 4,480 square foot classroom wing addition for the Avalon (TX) Independent School District. The $912,000 project will provide for a four classroom modular school building installed at grade level on a concrete stem wall foundation adjacent to the existing structure. The new facility is to be connected via a walkway and canopy, and will feature a parapet type exterior wall assembly which will incorporate a brick exterior finish designed to integrate with the look of the existing structure. Ramtech has been contracted to provide for all of the civil design services, integrating the new modular building fire alarm with the existing fire alarm system, and redesigning and constructing a new bus lane for the school.
Located south of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in southern Ellis County, Avalon and its surrounding rural farmland produce much of the cotton output for the County. The district currently serves 321 students from around the area and has recently been nominated recognition by the U.S. Department of Education's 2014 National Blue Ribbon School program. When the district chose to add the additional classrooms, they needed a construction alternative that could meet both their budget and time frame considerations. According to Gary White, Ramtech Vice-President of Sales, "Once Avalon decided to proceed with developing a new classroom wing for their high school, they recognized that Ramtech's permanent modular construction approach was the fastest most economical way of doing it." Ramtech will begin installing the building sections during the first week of August 2014.
