| | Oldcastle Precast Modular Group beats the Learning Curve |
 | | Designed around a new school building system developed by Oldcastle Precast Modular Group (OPMG), an 8,820-sq.-ft. addition to East Hampton's Springs Union Free School provided four general classrooms, a science laboratory, and multipurpose space in addition to retrofits to the existing facility. |
 | | OPMG representatives note that using the NT32 school modules — designed, engineered, produced off-site and erected by a single source — reduced the project's overall cost by 12 percent and the construction schedule by an estimated five months. |
 | | The modular building system, they emphasize, provided a durable, low-maintenance, thoroughly insulated and structurally integrated facility while decreasing labor costs, on-site construction, erection and finish work by more than half with minimal interruption to school routine. |
