Reno Cares Campus Project

The Reno CARES Campus was a collaborative design effort with Reno's chief building official. Building 46,000 SF in 34 days, the entire project was completed in under 60 days. Our team imported soils from nearby to engineer a 46,000 SF footprint without a post-tension slab. Working in phases, we built the dormitory before winter and added the kitchen, dining, and wrap-around service spaces later. While the main project was seeking political approval, we setup up 20,000 SF of heated temporary tents and restroom trailers to begin serving the clients immediately. Additionally, RPM Team assisted in the design of new mechanical systems to help slow the spread of disease. As the most affordable mass shelter on the West Coast, it was an honor to design and build the Reno CARES Campus.
