Pacific Mobile Structures has been honored with two prestigious awards at the 2026 World of Modular, the modular construction industry’s premier international event hosted by the Modular Building Institute. The company was recognized for excellence in sustainable design and permanent modular construction for the Long Beach Police Academy and WaFd Bank – Chewelah Branch projects.

Green Modular Building Award: Long Beach Police Academy

Pacific Mobile Structures, in partnership with AMCO and a team of industry collaborators, delivered a 13,514-square-foot permanent modular training facility for the City of Long Beach, California. Completed in just 13 months, the facility now 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.

The project also addressed complex site conditions, including construction within a liquefaction zone that required a reinforced concrete foundation system. Midway through development, Pacific Mobile Structures worked closely with project partners to redesign key elements, aligning the project with budget requirements while maintaining performance standards.

Permanent Modular Retail Award: WaFd Bank – Chewelah Branch

Pacific Mobile Structures also earned recognition for delivering a 1,960-square-foot modular banking facility for WaFd Bank in Chewelah, Washington. The project replaced a condemned branch and was completed in just 65 days, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of modular construction.

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.
