Modular apartments built for UC Berkeley students

Modular building provider CIMC Modular Building Systems Holding Co Ltd is taking its expertise to the United States, by building student accommodation for postgraduates at the University of California, Berkeley.

It is the Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based company's first project in the US, and also the country's first Chinese-made steel structure module building.

The new block, located near downtown Berkeley, provides 22 well-decorated rooms over four storeys, with ground floor rooms specially designed for those with disabilities.
