Ranch-style residences make student housing a home away from home

Modesto Junior College needed West Campus housing for the School of Agriculture’s popular internship program. Instead of a traditional dormitory, AMS built seven single-story modular student housing units, each a self-contained ranch-style residence with four double-occupancy bedrooms, two restrooms, a laundry/mud room and a shared open-concept living area with a full kitchen. Clustered into a cozy neighborhood setting connected by sidewalks, each residence creates a homey environment for students, featuring large picture windows that invite sunlight and a paneled entry door that opens to a grassy park. Site-built front patios shaded by pergolas are supported by stacked stone pedestals—custom details that add charm and character in keeping with Modesto’s agricultural heritage.

  • Front windows overlook greenspace with built-in stone seating
  • Lap siding and a pitched roof create an attractive residential feel
  • Wood cabinets and carpet are durable and low-maintenance

The AMS modular living units blend perfectly with the master plan for a campus-wide expansion project. With AMS’ fast-track production, we were able to get our students out of temporary trailers and into spacious, full-amenity housing by the start of fall semester.
