Rob Pelletier Construction, Inc. Houston Texas

The Holdsworth Center, Austin, TX

The Project:
RPC worked with Lake Flato Architects early on in the design of the operable walls. This is a site with 8 different buildings, 3 used for training where teachers or educators come for intense training. Other buildings included sleeping quarters for those attending and presenting. 
 
The intent was for all of the operable partitions to be custom, especially the folding partition in the Event Room and the folding partition to close off the Servery when not in use. Crystal Series 242 glass folding partitions were used in Classrooms. The Event Room was a Signature 840 with custom wall covering. What made this partition unique was the fact that they wanted a tapered glass window system between the overhead support and the roof. The support was not to be seen and was boxed with wood to appear as a timber, spanning the Event Room. 
 
The Servery folding partition was Signature 841 with steel faces left
unfinished for a wood slats to be attached to the faces. Because there were many areas in and around this area of the building with high end mill work, it was recommended that the millwork supplier/installer apply the 1” wood slats to the steel faces to keep all of the wood in the visible area from the same run. The partition was bi-parting with the stack areas jetting into the eating area to keep the primary track as close to the serving area as possible per the architects wishes. 
 
The pictures speak for themselves. These partitions turned out incredible. Keeping the architects wishes first and foremost and trying to
give them what they wanted and more was of the utmost importance. This, along with a highly skilled and professional installation crew, was key to the success of this product for this project. These partitions were focal points for this project.

MODERCO Inc. Announces Construction of new Facility to Support Growth

Moderco-new-building

Moderco, an International and 40 year experienced manufacturer of Moveable Wall Systems, today announced plans to construct a new manufacturing facility, beginning the summer of 2021, within the Greater Montreal Area. The new manufacturing plant and corporate offices will be located in the heart of a developing area adjacent to the new Montreal/St. Hubert regional airport. The facility will consolidate into one location the three existing separate plants that are presently required to meet the growing demand for Moderco’s products as experienced over the past few years. In addition, it will provide for the  growth of Moderco and the manufacture of new products and features.

“Our Architects and consultants have designed a building and environment wherein our associates will remain central to our success. We will incorporate our 40 years of success and experience in all aspects of the moveable wall industry including robotic assembly, automation, AI, material management, quality and inventory control into one location. Combining the skills of our valued associates with the most current manufacturing methods and equipment available, will allow us to maintain and significantly increase our planned growth” said Stephan Julien, President and CEO of Moderco. “We were extremely fortunate to locate such a nice and well-served location. The location and enhanced operational efficiencies will help us to continue to grow and develop and provide exceptional service and product”.

Jean Martin (JM) Roy, VP of Sales and Marketing commented : “Our entire office area, combined with a sales training and presentation area, will allow us to showcase and demonstrate all of our products. In addition we will have, in partnership with a prominent acoustical engineering company, a fully accredited acoustical testing laboratory where we will be able to quickly sound test all of our planned new products as well as have existing products retested in order to keep current with the most recent test procedures. One of the most pressing problems in our industry is extreme variations throughout a year in product demand. Alleviating delivery problems associated with these variations is an important part of the incorporated manufacturing processes allowing us to keep pace with our client’s needs.”

All at Moderco are looking forward to the relocation to our new facility in the Fall of 2022. For additional information about the new Moderco manufacturing facility, Moderco in general, Moderco products or Moderco distribution please contact [email protected] or call 800.363.3150.
