Shaw Modular Solutions

Grace was commissioned by Shaw Modular Systems (SMS) to design a cohesive, high-performance campus that supports a major industrial operation. Spanning approximately 295 acres, the development encompasses over 500,000 square feet of facilities, including roughly 10 acres under roof and 28,000 square feet of dedicated office space.

The campus includes the Administration and Training Buildings, Support Buildings, Fabrication Building Support Spaces, a Guard House, and a Cafeteria. Each facility is strategically designed to support operational efficiency while contributing to a unified architectural identity.

At the core of the project is a robust fabrication complex designed to accommodate demanding industrial processes. The facility features seven fabrication bays, each extending 500 feet in length and ranging from 70 to 110 feet in width. These bays are equipped with 38 overhead cranes with lifting capacities from 15 to 50 tons and a 50-foot hook height, enabling the handling and assembly of large-scale components. A dedicated heavy haul loadout road supports transport of modules weighing up to 2,500 tons, reinforcing the site's capability for high-capacity production and logistics. The facility is further distinguished by its ASME S, U, and R stamps, confirming its compliance with rigorous industry standards for pressure vessel and fabrication work.

Architecturally, the project redefines the expectations of pre-engineered metal buildings. Grace utilized clean lines, thoughtful material selections, and contemporary detailing to create a modern industrial aesthetic that reflects innovation and precision. Rather than purely utilitarian structures, the buildings project a forward-thinking identity aligned with SMS’s operational excellence.

The Administration and Training Buildings provide welcoming, professional environments that support collaboration and workforce development. Fabrication support areas are designed for durability and seamless integration with production workflows. Employee-focused amenities, including the cafeteria, enhance daily experience, while the guard house establishes a strong and secure point of entry.

Together, these elements form a unified industrial campus that balances performance, scalability, and design—positioning Shaw Modular Systems as a leader in advanced fabrication and modern manufacturing environments.
