STEM and STEAM Classroom

Rex Fortune Elementary School, named for a late superintendent of the school district, Dr. Rex Fortune, opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 7, 2023.
In six separate buildings JL Modular’s 35 classrooms range from TK and Kindergarten classrooms to, general education and STEAM classrooms. All 35 of the permanent modular classrooms feature state-of the-art educational and security elements including TV monitors, led lighting, and floor-to-ceiling whiteboards. The robotics classroom features garage-style folding doors so students can connect to the outside outside learning.
Using JLM’s DSA-prechecked classroom design JL Modular worked closely with architect AC Martin and site contractor Clark/Sullivan to deliver the school in time for the 2023 school year.

New modular classroom building featuring six science classrooms with associated prep rooms. The project is being delivered on a lease-leaseback contract using JL Modular’s DSA-prechecked classroom designs.

JL Modular built six permanent modular buildings as follows:
• Administration building: offices, staff lounge,conference room, restrooms, and other support services.
• Campus center building: library, conference rooms, restroom and other support services.
• Kinder Learning cluster: Four kinder learning studios with two learning commons, restrooms and other support services.
• Transitional Kinder building: One learning studio with unisex restroom.
• Elementary Learning clusters: Five learning studios, commons, offices, restrooms and other support services.

New modular science building on an operating campus. There are three standard 960 square foot classrooms and a larger classroom for science and lab use. One classroom is the robotics workshop. The project was completed on an operating campus.

JL Modular built two new custom modular buildings for Upper Lake High School.

The 7,200 square foot Agricultural Sciences Building features a CAD classroom, agricultural classroom, science prep room, welding and auto workshop and an outdoor structure. The building features a roll-up door for indoor/outdoor learning, an extensive HVAC system for the welding equipment, compressed gas storage, and a paint spray booth.

The 5,400 square foot Health and Fitness Building features a room for wrestling and mat sports and a fitness center for weightlifting and team training. The building features a custom sound system, and roll up doors for indoor/outdoor activities.

The new two-story modular classroom features 14 general classrooms, four STEM classrooms, boys & girls restrooms, food service speedline and a staff work room.

Delivered via design-build, the $51 million TK-8th grade school was built on a 12-acre site by a partnership of JL Modular, Otto Construction and NMR Architects. Completed in 2021, the new two-story school features three buildings with 35 classrooms and an administration/ library building. It serves 850 students.

This project used permanent modular construction techniques, which combine the form and function of traditional site-built construction with the
speed and cost efficiency of the modular construction process. The steel-framed buildings were pre-fabricated in modular sections off-site that were transported to the site, erected and finished. This method helped shorten the overall construction schedule and kept costs down.

This new 4,500 square foot state-of-the-art college science building was built by a design-build partnership of JL Construction, along with JL Modular and Architect Brokaw Designs. The building is an L-shaped, steel-frame building with a chemistry teaching lab, chemistry prep room, chemistry instrument room and anthropology classroom; an all-gender restroom and extensive outdoor teaching areas.

The chemistry lab features five chemical fume hoods, safety showers and eyewash stations, gas/vacuum dual valves at each station, laboratory sinks, and a reverse osmosis de-Ionized (RODI) water system.

JLC was selected following a rigorous design-build competition. The modular approach by JLC ensured that the project was built quickly for less than conventional construction.
