Wilmot Modular Structures, Inc. Corporate Campus
Project Type: Corporate Headquarters and Operations Center
Location: White Marsh, Maryland
Project Size: 33,000 square feet
Partners: Sunbelt Modular, Pro Mod, New Edge Construction
Company Needs
Wilmot Modular Structures required a modern, efficient headquarters to showcase their modular construction expertise while fostering team collaboration and innovation. The facility was designed to streamline operations, reflect the company’s commitment to sustainability, and embody the values of an American family-owned business, supporting long-term growth under multigenerational leadership.
Challenges & Solutions
One of the major challenges faced during the project was achieving a balance between speed and quality. While modular construction is inherently faster than traditional methods, the precision required for such a large and complex structure demands meticulous planning and execution. The integration of modular components with traditional site-built elements, such as the stair towers, elevator and custom courtyard required careful coordination between off-site and on-site teams. Through close collaboration with partners and strict adherence to quality control measures, the project was completed on time without sacrificing Wilmot’s high standards.
Key Features
Modular Construction
The use of prefabricated building modules allowed for rapid construction without compromising on quality. As the modules were assembled off-site, foundation work progressed on-site. Once ready, the modules were precisely positioned using cranes, cutting down the construction timeline significantly.
Sustainability
Sustainability was a central component of the headquarters design featuring low-waste construction, energy-efficient materials, and smart design strategies, such as: natural light optimization, energy-efficient lighting, and cantilevered modules.
Operations Center
18,000 sq. ft. space with four renovation bays, designed to streamline the retrofitting of modular units for customers, following the 5-S principles of lean operations. Real-time digital tracking capabilities allow for optimized project management, ensuring that all customer projects remain on schedule.
Design
A two-story atrium and glass balcony connect expansive hallways, merging form and function to reflect Wilmot’s values of openness, innovation, and flexibility. The modular elevator ensures easy access to all floors, demonstrating how modular systems can be incorporated into long-term, high-functioning structures.
American Heritage
A courtyard centered around an American flag honors the company’s family-run business and multi-generational legacy.

Building the Future of Modular Edge Infrastructure
The edge data center market is expanding rapidly, driven by the surge in AI workloads, IoT adoption, and the need for localized compute power. In these environments, sustainability, scalability, and reliability are non-negotiable. Cooling is among the most complex challenges for operators—and one of the most decisive factors in long-term success.
Accelerating Light-Gauge Steel Construction: A Semi-Automated Digital Workflow for Off-Site Projects
For construction professionals, the message is clear. By adopting semi-automation and digitalization, companies can deliver projects faster, more accurately, and more profitably, while also building stronger collaboration across teams. The approach is not about replacing people with machines, but about empowering people with better tools and processes.
Why Modular Data Centers Are Gaining Momentum
Artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and edge applications push the limits of traditional “stick-built” data centers. They take years build, often struggle with high density workloads, and aren’t optimized for deployments near end users. Modular data center platforms are purpose-built to address these challenges, offering flexibility and scalability to adapt to evolving technologies, while opening new opportunities for the modular construction industry.
