Tufts Professional Temporary Modular Office Space

What is greener than a building repurposed in its entirety? This green modular complex started out as a temporary childcare center on the Cambridge campus of Harvard University. After that, Tufts University required additional building space for its SIS (Student Information System). The building was used by Tufts as SIS for 3 years. Recently, Tufts University found that they needed first-class office space to house their professional staff members.

This new use presented a need for renovations as there was a significant change in occupancy going from the student information center to professional office space.

Triumph engaged in the process of managing the renovation process. Our project team worked in constant coordination with the architects, designers, and Tufts project team. The 7,200-square-foot modular building now has a layout and finishes appropriate for use as a professional office space.

This project is a perfect example of how high-performing modular buildings can be relocated and used at subsequent locations for temporary or permanent use.

Triumph Modular turned over the project thirty days ahead of schedule, enabling Tufts to complete their systems installations and begin operations sooner than expected. The Tufts University Human Resource Office is now operational in a building configured to their specific needs and installed on campus.

The Tufts building carries over all the green design elements that won the Harvard Childcare Center multiple awards. These elements include the Innovation in Green Design Award from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) MA Chapter, and the Best of Show and the Green Building Award from the Modular Building Institute.
