Pierson College at Yale University
Location: New Haven, CT
The JC Elite Modular Team provided a complete turnkey 72 bed dormitory at Yales Pierson College. The design incorporated the esthetics of the existing Yale Campus buy having custom windows fabricated in England and shipped to the factory in the United States. The copper slate roof was to mimic the surrounding buildings on campus. The most challenger aspect of the project was that the site was directly behind the Yale performing arts theater which is only shut down for two weeks of the year with only one access road in and out of the site. The entire building was erected within that two week window when the crane than had to be removed. To make the rigging even more challenging the property next door belonged to the infamous Schull & Crossbones secret society which would not allow any workers or equipment to impede on their property.

Middlesex Community College
Location: Bedford, MA
The project consisted of building the first and only entire college campus to date completely using modular construction. There were 6 buildings totaling in excess of 160,000 square feet. It was a total design build project with the State of Massachusetts that allowed the college to be able to move out of two rental locations that they were currently operating from. The design incorporated traditional New England Neo-Georgian aspects such as a Flemish Running Bond and Soldier coursing for the exterior brick work. The college and the state wanted an HVAC system that did not allow for contact by the students, so all the components were places inside the pitched roofs and a series of dormers were used as air intakes and the chimneys became the exhaust. Where this was not possible the gable ends of certain buildings were both air intake and exhausts. The use of modular construction allowed the college to open the new campus one year sooner that if conventional construction was used and allowed them a savings of one full year of rentals.
- Two factories were used to meet the schedule
- Most of the exterior brick work was completed at the factory
- All lab furniture and standard furniture was part of the project
- Full health club was part of the student center
- Cafeteria and kitchen for 3,000 meals a day was part of the student center
- Parque floors in student lounge along with a working gas fireplace
