Challenge

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in 2022, Lee County was left with a significant challenge. The storm had severely damaged the local school infrastructure, making many buildings uninhabitable. With the school year already underway, the county faced the urgent task of finding a way to continue education for countless students without delay.

Solution

To address this critical need, Cotton Logistics teamed up with Mobile Modular for their expertise in modular construction. The partnership aimed to quickly establish a temporary educational campus to house displaced students. The project involved deploying 73 modules that made up over 38,000 square feet of classroom and office space utilizing in-fleet assets.

The execution of this project was a race against time, requiring both teams to work tirelessly, including through the Thanksgiving holiday, to ensure the temporary school was ready for occupancy by the first week of December 2022. Mobile Modular provided the modular units, while Cotton Logistics handled the critical on-site services such as electrical, plumbing, and paving.

The successful completion of this project within the 30-day deadline demonstrated the effectiveness of modular construction in emergency situations, ensuring that education in Lee County could proceed without interruption. This initiative not only showcased the resilience and adaptability of the community but also highlighted the collaborative spirit and commitment of Cotton Logistics and Mobile Modular to supporting disaster recovery efforts.
