For over 8 years, USA Gypsum has recycled drywall scraps for Professional Building Systems Inc. Recently they had the opportunity to help in the revitalization efforts of the Diamond Green Area of Philadelphia, PA. Teaming with Orens Brothers Real Estate, the corner of 10th and Diamond Streets is now home to a five-story structure with retail and restaurants on the first floor and 350 beds in 92 furnished units on the floors above. The project consists of 116 modules. Utilizing modular construction allowed the builder to vastly increase their ability to construct a large scale project such as this in a much shorter amount of time than the traditional means of construction.
