Schofield Army Headquarters

Best in Show: Fifty-four 14’x 54’ modules were used to create the Schofield Barracks Logistical Complex. The design emphasized privacy and confidentiality to accommodate high-level intelligence meetings for strategic and logistical analysis for the 25th Infantry for the U.S. Army. The buildings line both sides of a street and each serves a specific, sequential function. The project was awarded Best in Show by the national Modular Building Institute.

The Army Corps of Engineers needed to provide a fully operational logistical unit quickly. We had 150 days to manufacture, ship, deliver and install 54 modules. The Army’s original plan for site-built construction would have required extensive removal of old housing and grading. General contractors said that there was no way to meet the schedule. Hawaii Modular Space was invited to present modular alternatives. That the buildings could be constructed at the same time as the site preparation was a key message. Another was that we could convert the confidentiality accomodations from the Army’s site-built design.

This project used standard blocks and piers that went directly on the ground, eliminating extensive site work. A temporary site was originally planned while construction was underway. Modular construction avoided that.
