CRATE Modular announced a collaboration with Education Facilities Group to manufacture the modules that will comprise a 23,000 square-foot facility for the Girls Athletic Leadership School in Los Angeles, California. The new GALS LA two-story educational building will feature 17 classrooms constructed from repurposed shipping containers that feature open space with abundant natural light and full-height glazing.
GALS LA is an all-girls charter school that takes a holistic approach to development, recognizing a connection between a healthy mind and body. The school integrates health and wellness by providing a curriculum addressing physical, emotional and psychosocial needs of female students.
CRATE manufactures multifamily and public works projects, and has a long history of building schools locally in LA. Its innovative modular construction process and streamlined approach allows for expedited schedules. For education facilities, this means that buildings can be deployed rapidly, and schools open sooner.
