In the modular construction business, having an opportunity to work with a client a second time requires an initial project that meets or exceeds the customer’s expectations. (more…)
2011 turned out to be a banner year for Ramtech as we completed a number of temporary and permanent modular construction projects in the education market. On the permanent side, our Accelerated Building System permanent modular construction process included completed classroom expansions for Hubbard ISD and Blue Ridge ISD in Texas and Clary Sage College in Oklahoma. Numerous portable classroom and multiple classroom wing projects were also completed for public, private, and charter schools throughout the Southwest.
So as we head on into the New Year, Ramtech will once again be on full display at the 2012 Texas Association of School Administrators Midwinter Conference and Education Expo January 30 & 31 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas. Ramtech education specialists Sabrina Queen and Mike Smith will represent both our temporary and permanent education designs in a 20 foot booth located in spaces 1231 & 1330.
Dubbed “Creating a New Vision for Public Education in Texas” the conference will be headlined by Robert Ballard, discoverer of the RMS Titanic and chairman of The Jason Project which connects students with scientists and researchers, virtually and physically, to provide mentored, authentic and enriching science learning experiences. Ramtech will once again represent our relationship with the Texas Association of School Boards BuyBoard program, who will also be in attendance in the exhibit hall together with over 300 other exhibitors representing a wide variety of educational products and services.
Earlier we reported that Ramtech recently went back on the road to visit with some of our previous permanent modular building school clients in and around the northern Oklahoma area. We took along our video gear to record the thoughts and comments of our clients now that the completed projects were behind them and they have had a chance to thoroughly evaluate the facilities and reflect back on the experience of working with Ramtech.
Our last stop was to meet with John Lazenby, Superintendent of Glencoe Public Schools in Glencoe, Oklahoma located 80 miles west of Tulsa where Ramtech provided the District with a new elementary school. Purchased through the Texas Buyboard cooperative purchasing network and built using Ramtech’s Accelerated Building System permanent modular construction method, the 6,272 square foot six-classroom facility is part of a rebuilding program to replace some of their original facilities. John was kind enough to give us his thoughts from inside the new building and had this to say about his experience working with Ramtech:
Ramtech announced this week the launch of a new program on the benefits of using modular construction for charter school providers. The initiative will provide an opportunity for the educators to learn about the recent innovations and practical applications in the use of temporary and permanent educational modular buildings when developing new schools or additions to existing campuses.

With the federal government’s renewed emphasis on providing funding for medical building construction, Ramtech recently had the opportunity to work with several Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers in developing the required information to complete grant applications for new medical facilities using modular buildings. To start the process, Ramtech met with each of the centers to discuss their specific plans for what they needed in a new building. (more…)
