Our Indoor Air Quality Solutions Yield Significant Benefits for Your Facility
In a recent cover story, Healthcare Facilities Management reported on the value of modular construction in hospital facility-improvement projects. This article provides brief anecdotes from specific hospital systems across the U.S. to emphasize how modular construction serves as a key differentiator during the construction process.
Although each of the hospital systems mentioned in this article required different modular solutions, the consensus from those interviewed is clear: modular construction aids facilities in several ways. The article cites cost reductions, greater flexibility, and ease of installation as the biggest impacts.
AJ Manufacturing understands the impact of modular construction. We leverage this powerful approach to ensure your facility experiences every benefit it provides by designing and manufacturing modular ceiling systems at our 60,000-square-foot facility dedicated to these components.
These modular solutions are available now, alongside all our signature products, including supply air grilles and customizable diffusers. Contact our team to request an estimate.
What Is Modular Construction?
Modular construction is a manufacturing process in which the product or system is built at an off-site location in a factory environment. For example, AJ Ceilings, our new factory, is reserved exclusively for building our ceiling systems for healthcare, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other industries that require critical environment solutions. After construction, our systems are shipped in pre-built sections, completely ready for the installation process.
Modular construction delivers the many benefits:
- Our expert team ensures your system’s quality before it leaves our facility.
- Shipping in sections significantly reduces your shipping costs.
- The integration of our products at your site is fast and efficient.

Modular Air Distribution Products Are Available Now from AJ Manufacturing
Our modular indoor air quality solutions for your critical environment include these systems:
- SS-CARES: Truly a turn-key solution, our modular structural ceiling system provides a complete package for your operating room, including air distribution, lighting options, and meticulously engineered structural support for medical equipment. On top of this system’s customizations and features, the SS-CARES exceeds ASHRAE 170 standards for healthcare facilities.
- CARES: Our nonstructural ceiling system, the CARES delivers a critical environment solution for your operating rooms, while maintaining a low profile to preserve ceiling space. Customizable for your critical environment’s specific needs, this ceiling system provides powerful “pistons” of clean air and effectively positioned lighting to ensure your facility can perform effective healthcare procedures.
- Micro-T: This ceiling grid is designed for a wider range of uses outside the operating room, including laboratories and cleanrooms. The Micro-T perfectly supports diffusers, blank panels, ceiling access panels, and lighting to ensure the proper configuration for your critical environment.
Each of these products are shipped in factory-assembled sections, which reduces shipping, construction, and installation costs.
Don’t Get Caught Up with Alternative Air Distribution Products
Stick-built construction, an alternative to modular construction, approaches the manufacturing process by building systems on site.
By definition, a stick-built system requires far more planning, as well as opportunities for error:
- Planning, logistics, and preparation protract the construction process, keeping facility planners busy.
- Shipping costs are higher when materials are shipped piecemeal rather than all at once.
- Contractors must be on site for an extended period of time.
- On-site construction introduces debris and contaminants.
Although each of the points above represent additional time, money, and labor when installing a new indoor air quality solution, construction debris and contaminants may pose one of the greatest challenges. This is particularly true if your installation space is a critical environment, such as a treatment ward or surgical floor. Your facility takes great care to ensure infection prevention measures. Installing a stick-built system may compromise those efforts.

Instead of navigating the delays and significant margin of error that come with stick-built systems, work with AJ Manufacturing, the industry leader for indoor air quality solutions, including high-performing fan filter units for operating rooms, return air grilles, supply air grilles, HEPA and ULPA filters, and more.
Our experts are always available because we build in our own facility. During the installation, our products only require a streamlined crew. We don’t require significant construction time at your facility, and your project can be up in running much faster than a stick-built system.
