MANSFIELD, TX — Design-build construction firm
Ramtech Building Systems of Mansfield, Texas, announces that the company has completed a 6,498-square-foot modular health clinic in Elgin, Texas, for Community Health Centers of South Central Texas. Known as the Family Health Center at Elgin, the free-standing facility replaced a small school-based clinic that the company had operated using two classrooms inside the local Elgin Independent School District's Intermediate school.
The new building, located on Elgin ISD property near the district's elementary school, provides 13 exam rooms for the clinic's three providers, dental exam rooms, procedure room, multiple private offices, an x-ray room, lab and pharmacy areas, vaccination room, centralized nurses station, large reception, and eligibility screening areas. The new building will allow the clinic to triple its current patient load and expands their services to accommodate clients from a three-county area east of Austin.
The Type VB structure utilized Ramtech's pier and beam permanent modular construction process to accelerate the completion of the building. Ramtech's scope of work included the manufacturing, installation, and finish-out of the modular sections which were set on a concrete pier foundation. The parapet wall exterior of the building utilizes a combination HardiePanel vertical siding with a metal fascia band, while the interior is finished with vinyl covered gypsum walls along with luxury vinyl tile flooring throughout the facility.
