BOSTON, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Architecture Involution LLC (Ai3) and Triumph Modular, two Massachusetts-based companies, are in the process of unveiling the CASE 21 (Creative Academic Sustainable Environments for the 21st Century) classroom solution -- a high-performance learning environment employing state-of-the-art green design, organizational layout and technology integration. The U.S. Green Building Council's 2008 Greenbuild Conference and Expo, which begins in Boston on November 19th, will feature an important, complementary classroom effort by San Francisco-based Project FROG.

"It is exciting to see the modular building industry, the green building industry, and the architectural world all coming together to address the challenge that so many school systems across the country face," said Cliff Cort, president and CEO of Triumph Modular. "School systems are looking for cost-competitive ways to provide energy efficient, high quality classrooms that enhance learning. Both CASE 21 and Project FROG offer important solutions to this challenge."

"Students across America are not in environments that allow them to learn to their maximum level," said James Jordan, co-founder and partner at Ai3. "Many typical classrooms -- as currently designed -- ignore the positive effects that daylighting, ventilation, air quality, acoustics, sightlines, technology integration, sound reinforcement and other key factors have on learning. We have seen the results of incorporating these positive effects into our design philosophy for several years -- students learn better, smarter and faster in these environments. It is encouraging that others are beginning to recognize and promote the importance of these elements."

CASE 21 integrates the most advanced principles of green, sustainable design to maximize energy efficiency, minimize environmental impact and provide a classroom setting that is genuinely healthy. It combines the most advanced principles of design for the ideal learning environment with the rapid-delivery, cost-control benefits of modular construction. The CASE 21 classroom solution is constructed completely off-site, in a climate-controlled environment that virtually eliminates delays or other obstacles related to weather, site disruption or other factors. Installation is executed by the most experienced technicians in the modular industry. The construction and installation process was developed based on years of research and practical experience at Triumph Modular -- the nation's leading provider of high-quality permanent and temporary modular buildings for education, health care and other key economic sectors.
