Aesthetically pleasing

St. Jude's Catholic Church

St. Jude's Catholic ChurchSt. Jude's Catholic Church in Boca Raton, Florida was experiencing a growing enrollment in their day care program and subsequently outgrew their existing facility. With a limited budget and the immediate need for space, the church needed assistance with financing their space solution. An existing pavilion on the site created an obstacle, requiring a solution that would work within the site's constraints. Church officials also wanted the modular's exterior to conform to the aesthetics of the existing buildings.

ModSpace designed a custom L-shape structure from a combination of nine modules which surrounded the existing pavilion and made efficient use of the space available. The 4,500 square feet building comfortably holds 80 active children and their teachers, with four classrooms, a kitchen, five bathrooms, and bright play areas. The stucco exterior matches the existing buildings, maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
