Pacific Mobile Structures earned two Awards of Distinction at the 2026 World of Modular hosted by the Modular Building Institute, recognizing excellence in sustainable design and permanent modular construction. The Long Beach Police Academy received the Green Modular Building Award and WaFd Bank Chewelah Branch earned the Permanent Modular Retail Award.
Green Modular Building Award: Long Beach Police Academy
Pacific Mobile Structures, in partnership with AMCO and a team of industry collaborators, delivered a permanent modular training facility for the city of Long Beach, California. Completed in 13 months, the facility serves as a modern hub for law enforcement training and administrative operations. Designed with sustainability and performance as core priorities, the building incorporates rooftop solar panels with battery backup, high-efficiency insulation systems (R-49 roof and R-25 walls) and insulated concrete flooring to optimize energy performance and occupant comfort. Advanced acoustic engineering, including STC 50-rated wall assemblies, sound panels, and specialty doors, supports a quiet and focused learning environment.
Permanent Modular Retail Award: WaFd Bank – Chewelah Branch
The 1,960-square-foot modular banking facility in Chewelah, Washington, for WaFd Bank replaces a condemned branch and was completed in 65 days. The facility includes a full-service banking layout with secure safety deposit areas, reinforced safe and ATM floors, IT and mechanical suites and a drive-up teller line with ATM access. The design features 10-foot ceilings, custom lighting and durable exterior materials to create a modern and welcoming customer experience. Due to site constraints, including overhead electrical lines and tight placement conditions, the building was rolled into position rather than craned. Through close coordination with Blazer and Driftmier Architects, Pacific Mobile Structures ensured precise installation and seamless integration of utilities.
