Home Calendar - AIA – East Bay Chapter Virtual: Volumentric Wood Modular Construction (1 LU | HSW)

Virtual: Volumentric Wood Modular Construction (1 LU | HSW)

The presentation will illustrate the use of Volumetric Wood Modular construction in the Coliseum Connections project in Oakland. It is a Type IIIA – 5 story Volumetric Wood Modular project over grade for one half of the project and a Type VB – 2 story volumetric wood modular project over a type 1A podium on the other half.
 
Completed in 2019, Coliseum Connections is a 110 unit, multifamily residential project located adjacent to the Coliseum BART station in Oakland. Constructed using Prefabricated Volumetric Modules by Guerdon Modular of both Type-III and Type-V over Type-I, the project offers a unique mix of 50% Affordable and 50% market rate rental apartments. This presentation will discuss the unique development, design and construction considerations for high density, multi-family, mid-rise volumetric modular housing in the Bay Area.
