Gen7 Schools

👀 A first look at Aviara Oaks Elementary School.

As part of a larger campus modernization, AMS delivered two AMS FORM buildings totaling 9,600 square feet. Designed to complement the existing campus, the buildings incorporate architectural finishes and materials that blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Stay tuned for the full project profile soon!
Thanks to Carlsbad Unified School District, Ruhnau Clarke Architects, Lusardi Construction Company, and everyone who helped bring this project to life.

Today we’re recognizing Marcus Raposas, Chief Controller, on his 14-year anniversary with American Modular Systems.

For the past 14 years, Marcus has been a go-to resource for teams across AMS. Whether it’s answering a financial question, helping solve a challenge, or providing insight when it’s needed most, Marcus is always willing to jump in and help. His knowledge, steady approach, and commitment to the company have earned the respect of colleagues throughout the organization.

Thank you, Marcus, for everything you’ve contributed over the years. We’re grateful to have you on the team and look forward to what’s ahead.

Happy Anniversary, Marcus! 🎉

Always a good day when project teams get to see their building in production.

This week, we welcomed representatives from .academy Education for Change Public Schools, Blueprint Futures, and the project team to our Manteca factory for a firsthand look at their project and the modular construction process.

Thank you for making the trip. We appreciate the opportunity to share the progress and look forward to seeing this one come together.

A new chapter for early learning in Los Banos...
recently celebrated the opening of its new Early Education Center, a 34,080-square-foot campus built with the AMS FORM building system.

Designed to bring preschool and transitional kindergarten students together in one dedicated location, the new campus provides 19 classrooms tailored to the needs of early learners. The result is a welcoming environment where students can begin their educational journey in a space created specifically for them.

Congratulations to Los Banos Unified School District, SKW & Associates, and the entire project team on this exciting milestone!

Happy Friday‼️

A fun afternoon in the factory yesterday, celebrating the team behind our buildings.

Great food, prizes, and even a little friendly soccer competition ⚽ with the people who bring so much craftsmanship, care, and dedication to the work happening at AMS every day.

We also had the opportunity to recognize some incredible employee milestones:

30 years
25 years
20 years
Two 15-year anniversaries
And a 10-year anniversary

That kind of longevity says a lot about the people and culture behind AMS. We’re grateful for the team that continues to show up, build with pride, and make it all happen.

Specialty spaces topped your list of design trends — so we’re digging in, starting with Expanded Learning.

ELOP is changing how K-12 campuses get used: before school, after school, into summer. At Pleasant View Expanded Learning Center, we designed for that reality — flexible, durable, and built to flex between daily enrichment and summer camps without missing a beat.

When you design around how students actually use a space, it performs differently.

Engineered to Empower.

The ribbon has officially been cut at Kenwood School District, and what a special project this was to be part of.

For a small district, a full campus modernization represents years of planning, community support, and investment in the future of its students. Seeing that vision come to life, including new GEN7 6th grade, STEAM, and TK classrooms, is something worth celebrating.

What made this project especially meaningful was how personal it was for so many involved.

AMS Marketing Director Maggie Howland has children who attend Kenwood Elementary. Kevin Chapin, Principal at Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) and part of the design team, is also deeply connected to the campus as a Kenwood Elementary alum and parent.

When the people designing and delivering a campus are connected to the community it serves, the work carries a different kind of pride and responsibility.

From early planning through Phase I and now the completion of Phase II, this project was a true collaboration between Kenwood School District, QKA, Cu***ng Group, FRC Construction, the construction partners, and AMS — all working toward the same goal: creating an incredible place for students to learn and grow.

Congratulations to the entire project team and the Kenwood community.
