UNC Wilmington Wilmington, North Carolina General Industry Project

The University of North Carolina's Wilmington campus needed a temporary structure to serve as a cafeteria while the school's Student Union Building underwent a major renovation. Rubb Buildings was contacted by the University's architectural firm who knew of Rubb's versatile structures and its ability to quickly turn projects around. Rubb's solution involved two structures. The first was a 40' (12m) x 66.67' (20.33m) BVE with 16.4' (5m) sidewalls. The second building was a small BVR structure measuring 30' (9.15m) x 6' (2.74m) with a 12' (3.66m) sidewall, served as a connection tunnel to join the large Rubb structure to the existing brick Student Union Building. Rubb engineers and site personnel were able to work around the masonry structure's various overhangs thus eliminating costly building modifications.
