Life School of Dallas Modular Building Campus in the Spotlight

Organized as a charter school, Life School serves over 4,000 students at five locations around the Dallas, Texas area. When the school de­cided to expand their Oak Cliff area secondary school, they chose three 7,424 square foot eight-classroom modular buildings complete with connecting deck and ramp assem­blies. Purchased through the Texas Buyboard and built using traditional modular contruction, each facility includes a private office, restrooms, storage area, and individual class­rooms with a computer lab in the high school building. The buildings utilize nine wall-mounted HVAC units zoned for energy efficient heating and cooling, and include factory in­stalled 26-gauge R-panel metal sid­ing on the exterior, vinyl composition gypsum wall coverings, and durable high traffic carpet flooring.
