Aries’ Modular Schools in San Francisco’s Tech Hub

dremana2024-10-16T23:04:42+00:00June 27th, 2016|

Alongside other modular building companies, Aries Building Systems’ California-based company, Class Leasing, is bringing prefab school buildings to Silicon Valley, home to hundreds of start-up and global technology companies, and consequently, one of the fastest growing elementary school districts in the area.

As certain school districts integrate these portable classrooms onto their campuses, some are choosing creative means to make it all work. The Snoqualmie Valley School District in Washington is saving money by adding modular classrooms for a “freshman-only” school instead of using a traditional middle school configuration. This fresh approach reflects the versatility of prefab buildings in 2016 as opposed to “back in the day.” Portable classrooms today are better described as permanent modular classrooms. With benefits such as lessening environmental impact, mobility, and exceeding California Title 24 Energy Standards by a considerable amount, it’s hard to beat the amenities that modular classrooms afford.

Beyond this, companies like Aries Building Systems’ Class Leasing offer flexible leasing options and a wide range of building types.

Modular buildings offer fast, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for changing demographics and increasing enrollment. A popular route many California school districts are taking to bypass the expense of the bidding process is “Piggyback Contracts.” (See more on Piggyback Contracts here.)

Housing Made Simple

dremana2019-02-08T21:37:54+00:00June 22nd, 2016|

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”
-Confucius

We at Aries believe that the simple things are the best things. We also believe that you shouldn’t have to pay a fortune for the simple things.

We all travel, work, stay away from home. There are enough headaches that come with these necessary tasks, and your accommodations shouldn’t be one of them; so we at Aries do our best to simplify every aspect of your stay with us.

We take care of everything from quick check-in and laundry services to delicious meals and comfortable accommodations. Many of our housing locations across Texas, North Dakota, and Oklahoma feature recreational facilities, cable and wifi, flat screen TVs, and more. So wherever you stay with us, you’ll find everything you need – and nothing you don’t.

At Aries Residence Suites, you won’t pay for 300 channels of endless commercials, fancy little soaps or a 24-hour waffle bar. We believe that a fair price means paying for your stay with no hidden costs or extravagant extras. No more complicated membership reward cards. No more hidden policies that end up charging you extra. No more mini fridges filled with twenty-dollar peanuts.

In a world full of chaos, it’s the simple things that make the difference. Whether you’re seeking workforce housing, temporary accommodations, a corporate retreat or just a good night’s sleep – Aries Residence Suites is the hassle-free choice for those who are tired of paying more for less.

Hot meals. Soft Beds. Clean rooms. Fair price. That’s the simple Aries way.

Aries Makes Amtrak’s A-List. Again.

dremana2019-02-08T21:38:37+00:00June 1st, 2016|

Over the years, Aries Building Systems has been contracted by Amtrak to deliver modular solutions on a variety of different projects. This spring, Aries is pleased to announce that our talented team of experts have been brought onboard Amtrak’s latest effort to upgrade its Sunnyside, New York facility.

Sunnyside Yards is an approximately 180-acre open rail yard network located east of Long Island City and west of Sunnyside Gardens. “The Yards” are an active rail corridor as well as a storage and maintenance facility for Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains. Long Island Rail Road passenger trains also traverse the length of the yards en route to the East River Tunnels to the west and the Main Line to the east. Amtrak, MTA, and several private parties own the land that makes up Sunnyside Yards. The City of New York owns the air rights for certain parcels as well.

As Amtrak is currently in the process of upgrading their Sunnyside facility, one of their first goals was to modernize its modular structures and mobile buildings. Aries Building Systems has been contracted to provide new men’s and women’s locker rooms, along with various new office space. These new modular units will be utilized by both Amtrak management and Amtrak maintenance and construction crews on a daily basis.

RAM Modular Provides Emergency Relief to Alberta Wildfire Evacuees

dremana2024-11-13T19:06:16+00:00May 25th, 2016|

Tuesday May 24th 2016 Alberta, Canada – The wildfire still rages on in Alberta Canada, recently consuming an evacuated oil sands camp while threatening at least a dozen other sites in the oil sands region.

Despite this fact, the best of humanity rises up as RAM Modular and a host of other modular building companies opened up their camps to help displaced evacuees and emergency workers including RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), medical personnel, and the courageous firefighters battling the inferno dubbed “The Beast” due to it’s unparalleled ferocity.

The fire began on May 1st and has torn through over 2,000 square miles at an unprecedented speed leaving a path of destruction and ashes in its wake. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but is known to have originally ignited in a remote forested area. Shifting winds turned this wildfire into a devastatingly historic force of nature; jumping rivers, leveling over 10% of the structures in Fort McMurray, and displacing over 90,000 people from their homes.

Where is a family to go? Where do first responders set up home-base as they fight “The Beast” and treat individuals for smoke inhalation? “Everybody comes together in times like this – RAM Modular and other remote lodges not directly affected by the fire made their facilities available to evacuees,” says Jim Benedict, Vice President of Sales for RAM Modular Canada. “We did what we could, and were happy to help. Families needed a place to reconvene and gather before taking the next step South.”

RAM Modular (and subsidiary Aries Building Systems), known for modular workforce housing and mobile solutions, made 400 accommodations available at their Wandering River camp in Alberta and Monias Lodge located near Conklin. In a dire circumstance when the small towns surrounding Alberta were running out of fuel, and general community resources were trying to get back up and running, having immediate food and shelter for those affected was the only focus. “We made a collective decision with the camp operator to bring in extra staff and make sure people had hot meals and a comfortable place to sleep,” adds Benedict.

While the fire has been out of control, some much-needed good news has come in the form of cooler temperatures, more moisture in the air and reduced wind speeds, which will go a long way in helping the 500+ firefighters in the area suppress the remaining fire. As “The Beast” is finally put down, hopefully thousands of people will soon be able to return to their communities in peace and safety.

Aries Delivers A New Start After Fire Damage

dremana2019-02-08T21:40:25+00:00May 20th, 2016|

Ravelli Monuments, headquartered in Hammonton, New Jersey, provides memorial and statuary services throughout Southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Over 90 years in the memorial industry, Ravelli has been noted for excellence in workmanship, design and service, and cherished historical legacy. Unfortunately, on the 1st of April 2016, one of their modular offices at The Lake Park Cemetery in the Woolwich Township was completely destroyed in an early morning fire.

Aries Building Systems worked with Ravelli to not only provide a complete replacement of their fire damaged unit, but to upgrade one of their retail modular buildings as well. This new retail space will be utilized as a sales center, and the administrative modular unit will be used by Ravelli to run their day-to-day business at their Lake Park Cemetary property.

It’s 2016: Is a Man Camp Better Than a Hotel?

dremana2019-02-08T21:41:22+00:00May 9th, 2016|

Once upon a time, there were “man camps” – in their purest form; closed camps that were built or rented entirely by one customer or company. Most of the time the man camp is associated with oil field housing, often a grouping of modular housing that’s sole purpose was to cater to a specific workforce (usually oil workers.)

So what’s going on now that the latest oil boom is behind us? How come, when on my way to see my family out on the countryside, I pass by billboards that read “High Quality Workforce Housing and Extended Stay Accommodations – Open to The Public” – what is this? Really? Have Man Camps turned into hotels?!

The answer: Yes… and no. A basic accommodation at a man camp is essentially a studio apartment. Because these modular spaces were often originally intended to host an individual for a longer period of time, they were constructed to cater to your every need. For example, at Aries Residence Suites, a standard accommodation includes full kitchens, WiFi, and housekeeping for every single unit. Beyond this, many of Aries’ extended stay locations include a host of other amenities, such as satellite television, recreational facilities, cafeterias, 24-hour onsite management (concierge, if you will!) – and other thoughtful additions like top-notch mattresses and executive meeting rooms.

The bottom line. The landscape is changing. As quality workforce housing is no longer in high demand, “Joe Public” gets to reap the benefits. Instead of checking IN to a hotel for an evening, maybe you’d like to check OUT one of Aries Residence Suite’s accommodations. You may just find yourself enjoying the extended studio-style space at an especially satisfying savings!

Aries Wins Again – and Does It with Style

dremana2019-02-08T21:42:18+00:00May 3rd, 2016|

Aries Building Systems is proud to announce yet another recognition of excellence from the Modular Building Institute awards, which showcased some of the most creative and modern achievements in modular construction this year.

MBI just wrapped up their annual World of Modular show in San Diego, California earlier in March. Aries claimed the first place award for their Relocatable Healthcare Building entry, an 1800 square foot school-based medical riser facility in Monroe, Louisiana.

Entries for the modular building awards were judged on three major criteria: architectural excellence, cost effectiveness, and technical innovation & sustainability. Although not explicitly listed, it also seems that modern design and creative application were contributing factors to this year’s winning entries as well.

“Our aim was to take the stereotypical ‘sterile’ environment design that’s commonplace in the medical industry, and give the final product a more modern, approachable design,” stated Aries entry detail on the topic of modular innovation.

Aries did just that, with warm finishing touches such as wooden cabinets and natural light utilization throughout the 11-room modular structure. “The final structure resulted in subtle but innovative features not commonly found in modular buildings of this type, or the medical field in general.”

Modular buildings tend to have a reputation for being sterile, bland, or unwelcoming. As technical and design innovations advance, however, modular structures are anything but ordinary. Other project winners at the MBI show included a renovated mission chapel, an ESPN broadcast village, a mechanical and bio-engineering lab, and a Native American heritage center – highlighting the fact that the applications for modular buildings are truly limitless.

So the next time you have a building need, think twice before hiring your run-of-the-mill (and likely overpriced) construction company. Chances are, Aries can complete whatever your building needs are faster, cheaper, and more sustainably than the competition – without sacrificing beautiful design.

The Fight for Williston Man Camps Continues

dremana2025-06-14T01:02:40+00:00April 22nd, 2016|

Tensions continue to rise in Williston, ND as the fight to maintain man camp residency in the area wages on. As the city tries to push man camp housing out of the area, concerns grow that oilfield housing will not be affordable for workers, temporary housing will revert to back to unsafe camper cities, and a loss will be seen in the quality of living for man camp dwellers.

Workers of the Bakken oilfield are concerned about the possibility of having to choose between a motel or an apartment. Man camp residents aren’t generally interested in the kind of permanent residency associated with apartment leasing, and motels don’t offer the temporary housing amenities like Aries Residence Suites and other leading man camp companies do.

Amenities like hot meals, room cleaning, and laundry services are the standard that many workforce residents have come to expect; amenities which Aries proudly offers at most locations. Aries also offers communal areas, indoor gym facilities, basketball courts, pool tables, and more – none of which are generally offered at motels and other local spots.

Our hope is that temporary workers in the Williston area will be able to find the comforts of home at Aries man camps for a long time to come. Because after a long day in the field, a hot meal and a fresh bed mean a lot more than you’d think.

“The rotational workforce has been around for decades and decades, and Williston is not going to change that. They’d be better off trying to figure out how to capitalize on the rotational workforce than to try to change them into permanent residents,” said one owner of a modular housing company.
