Crestwood Middle School Went Green Building With Royal Concrete Concepts
With the future in mind, the facilities department had standardized the concrete relocatables purchased by the school district in the early-2000s so that they all have flat roofs, which then made them expandable, stackable, and reconfigurable to conserve precious space on school campuses. Royal Concrete Concepts was both the original manufacturer of the concrete classroom units and is the general contractor for the two most recent addition projects.

Royal Concrete Concepts had assisted the district with earlier school additions, including Jupiter Middle School, which also utilized concrete modular classrooms for an on-time fast-track project completion. It was the lessons learned on the earlier school project that has helped to make the Crestwood and Whispering Pines additions a reality. At Jupiter Middle School, 15 concrete modular classrooms were reused for 17,332 sq. ft. wing addition. The project resulted in a 50% cost savings due to the reused modulars, according to Sanches.
