A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.

A visiting booth for safe social interaction. The visiting booth having an opposing pair of parallel end walls, an opposing pair of parallel side walls, and a partition. The partition having a partition window, wherein the partition divides the visiting booth into a first visiting area and a second visiting area. Alternatively, an end wall configured to couple to a standing structure. Alternatively, the visiting booth configured with a first end wall, a second end wall, a first set of opposing pair of parallel side walls, second set of opposing pair of parallel side walls, and a partition. A second end of the second set of opposing pair of parallel side walls coupled to a standing structure. The visiting booth having a partition including a partition window. The partition coupled to a second end of the first set of opposing pair of parallel side walls to the standing structure.

A modular room includes a floor having an upper surface, and a lower surface. The floor defines a floor height between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the floor defines a through aperture. At least three walls have a lower end connected to the floor and an upper end extend away from the floor, a ceiling is connected to the upper end of the walls, and a drain body is positioned in the floor aperture. The drain body has an upper surface and a lower surface and defines a drain body height between the upper and lower surfaces. The drain body height is less than the floor height, such that the drain body does not extend above the upper surface of the floor or below the lower surface of the flow while the drain body is positioned in the aperture in the floor.

Multi-story retrofitting building escape units. In aspects, the units are prefabricated and may be stacked. In embodiments, water or other fire-deterrent liquid or foam may be stored or delivered in tubular legs of the unit or tubes with in the legs. A hose or other mechanism to apply the water or other liquid is located in one more units. Each unit comprises stairs that link up with stairs on units above or below so occupants can climb down, for example, and emergency personnel can climb up, for example. In aspects, one or more walls of the unit are fire walls or otherwise fire-retardant, fire-proof, or fire-resistant.

A prefabricated core for a building with all services already built in. The core serves as: 1. the housing for all the home's mechanical, plumbing and electrical sources, and 2. a major structural support, providing three shear walls to the structure. This invention allows access to all of the services thus allowing for ease of maintenance and avoidance of collateral damage during renovations and remodeling.

A jail complex comprising a plurality of pairs of modular jail cells interconnected in side-by-side relation where each of said modular jail cells in each pair comprise front and rear walls, a single side wall and a ceiling, the single side wall of the pair of cells being the opposing side wall of an adjacent cell of the pair and an end wall connected to the first one of the pairs of cells as the side opposing the single side wall.

A modular multi-container housing structure connector for containers, which each have sides including a roof, a floor, and four lateral sides, includes a connector frame comprising vertical and horizontal struts shaped to connect to at least one of the sides of two adjacent containers and at least one interlock configured to secure the connector frame to the side of one container. The at least one interlock may be a plurality of interlocks. The connector frame may comprise two vertical struts and two horizontal struts each shaped and configured to connect to a respective edge of an adjacent side of two adjacent containers and, responsive to the connector frame being connected to two adjacent sides of two adjacent containers by the plurality of interlocks, the connector frame and interlocks form a container-to-connector frame-to-container connection to establish a weather-tight housing structure with the two or multiple connected containers.

Disclosed is a prefabricated module including, in one piece: a shower compartment, with a shower; a toilet compartment, with a toilet seat, the shower compartment and the toilet compartment being arranged longitudinally opposite one another; a kitchen compartment, which included a sink and a cooking appliance; a technical compartment, which included: a domestic water supply and a water heater, supplying domestic water to the shower and sink; an energy supply, supplying energy to the cooking appliance and the water heater; the kitchen compartment and the technical compartment being arranged between the shower compartment and the toilet compartment, which are transversely opposite one another, of the prefabricated module.

Disclosed are various embodiments of a modular building structure including modular cartridges. In one example, a modular residential structure comprises a systems cartridge that is configured to provide a number of services for the modular residential structure. A spine cartridge is configured to be attached to a top of or a bottom of the systems cartridge. The spine cartridge comprises conduits for conveying the services from the systems cartridge to a number of access points. A planar wall can be configured to form a portion of the modular residential structure. The systems cartridge, the planar wall, and the spine cartridge can be prefabricated at an off-site location. The systems cartridge can be attached to the spine cartridge at an on-site location.
