Vanguard Modular Buidling Systems, a leading provider of modular building solutions, had the honor of receiving two First Place awards at the 2008 Modular Building Institute (MBI) annual convention held this year in Bonita Springs, Florida. These awards were presented to Vanguard Modular in the categories of Renovated Reuse: Greatest Renovation: over 10,000 square feet and Temporary: Office: over 5,000 square feet.

The First Place award for Renovated Reuse over 10,000 square feet was awarded to VMBS for three dormitory buildings built for Nichols College in Dudley Massachusetts. These buildings ranged in size from 3,900 square feet to 5,800 square feet. Vanguard Modular recycled 2 science lab classrooms from a 2003 MBI Awards of Distinction Best Entry winner, Deerfield Academy and an additional classroom from another project to create the dormitory buildings.

Vanguard Modular also received a First Place award for a Temporary Office over 5,000 square feet. This project was a large office complex built for Worcester State College. This project was designed to fit an unusual, narrow site. The manufacturer of the modules was Mark Line Industries, headquartered in Bristol, Indiana.

Both projects were designed and supervised by the Danvers, MA Vanguard Modular team of Bob D’Angelo, Major Project Sales, Bill Lavoie, Project Manager and Renee Santeusanio, Administrative Support.
