With a previous focus on permanent and re-locatable modular buildings for military, governmental, commercial and administration applications, ICON Construction of McKinney, Texas is moving into the arena of modular dormitories for student housing. According to multihousingnews.com, modular construction allows for flexible floor plans, relocation from one campus to another and duplication of the appearance of other campus buildings. With units measuring 175 to 375 square feet and quicker build out schedules than traditional construction methods, MHProNews understands universities can more readily reap the benefits of added revenue steams. Architect Kent Hughlett of ICON says, “We have previously designed multi-story hotels, apartments and barracks. And we incorporate this past experience for our dormitory and student housing design projects.”
