Clover Park School District needed an addition to the new middle school and fast. The architect on the project had previously worked with Pacific Mobile, so they knew that modular construction would be a viable option. We provided a 7,544-square-foot building that exactly matched the existing middle school with a parapet on the roof, identical windows, brick, and more. The project was completed with ease and the customer was happier with the result of our modular building than the original stick-built building.

2021 Pacific Mobile Scholarship Recipient Justin Tuttle
“Studying architecture has given me an opportunity to investigate the depths of self-exploration while simultaneously learning the praxis and agency that the profession of architecture has to offer our communities. My goals with architecture are to specialize in sustainable practices and empowering our communities in need. This scholarship awards me the opportunity to not have to worry about financial stability while trying to maximize my experiences in creating a thesis project.”
Pacific Mobile is proud to offer students pursuing a career in architecture at Portland State Universitywith scholarships. We created this scholarship program after a long-standing collaborative partnership with Portland State University’s School of Architecture. We teamed up with Portland State University students and Blazer Industries to create the Smart Academic Green Environment (SAGE) classroomprototype after our owner, Garth Haakenson, was introduced to PSU professors in the architecture program, Sergio Palleroni, and Margarette Leite.
Professors Palleroni and Leite shared with Mr. Haakenson that they were committed to designing a healthier environment that would improve the learning experience for students. With many standard relocatable classrooms being designed to minimum code standards, Palleroni and Leite were ready to seek change. It just so happened that their goal aligned with Mr. Haakenson’s, and upon seeing the initial concept of their design, he immediately wanted to get involved in the project and bring it to market.
This partnership gave PSU architecture students a new hands-on opportunity to jump in and solve a real-world problem, as they imagined a new reality for relocatable classroom space. Today, Pacific Mobile has installed over 100 SAGE classrooms throughout Washington and Oregon as a result of that partnership. SAGE combines the latest thinking in healthy learning environments with the best in green building practices. The result is a cost-effective, award-winning, relocatable classroom alternative.
CWI Modular Building Nampa Campus
The College of Western Idaho was expanding. As a result, they needed additional administration and office space to support their increasing enrollment and offer the flexibility to relocate the buildings in the future. Pacific Mobile Structures provided them with three 60X60 modular buildings. Outfitted with various textures and colors to match the existing structures, RTU units in the roof, and modified building height offered the appearance of traditional stick-built structures. The buildings also feature upgraded lighting units that can be adjusted to accommodate future reconfigurations of each of the buildings.
ESD 105 Wenatchee Daycare
East Wenatchee needed a facility for the children of migrant workers in the area to go while their parents were working during the day. They required something fast and within budget, so they turned to permanent modular construction to fill their needs. Working with Pacific Mobile, East Wenatchee was able to adhere to the constraints of their budget while gaining a solution that met their specifications. The building features air curtains at the entryway to maintain the quality and temperature of the air within it, along with a traversed hinged gable roof system, a commercial kitchen and extensive casework for maximum functionality and storage. On the outside, the modular building blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
