SHENZHEN, China, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CIMC Modular Building has received two major honors at the 2026 Awards of Distinction presented by the Modular Building Institute (MBI) during World of Modular 2026, including the event’s highest recognition for its Gibraltar Elderly Care Home project.

The award-winning Gibraltar Elderly Care Home project received:

Judges’ Choice Award (Highest Scoring Entry)First Place in Permanent Modular Social & Supportive Housing

The achievement marks the third consecutive year CIMC Modular Building has secured multiple top honors at the MBI Awards, underscoring the company’s growing leadership in permanent modular construction for high-performance residential and social infrastructure projects worldwide.

Award-Winning Solution for Aging Communities

Located on Gibraltar’s coastal waterfront, the project is an 11-story, 12,000-square-meter (approximately 129,000 sq ft) senior living facility and the first permanent modular building of its kind in Gibraltar.

Built using 226 precision-engineered factory-finished modules, the development delivers 189 purpose-built resident suites together with communal amenities designed to support comfort, accessibility and quality of life for older adults.

The recognition comes as governments and developers across Europe increasingly seek faster, more cost-efficient and lower-carbon solutions to meet the needs of aging populations and growing demand for social infrastructure.

Why the Project Stood Out

1. Resident-Centered Design & Full Accessibility
The project delivers a fully barrier-free living environment with wide corridors, non-slip flooring, dual-way anti-panic doors, fixed and foldable safety handrails, and step-free balcony thresholds. Warm lighting and calming interior tones create a calm, comfortable atmosphere, with every detail designed to prioritize safety, mobility, and well-being for elderly residents.

2. Coastal‑Engineered Durability & Strict Code Compliance
Built for Gibraltar’s coastal environment, the project uses corrosion-resistant modular steel construction with thermal-break systems that enhance energy efficiency and indoor comfort. It meets UK and EU standards for structural resilience, fire safety, acoustics and thermal performance, while marine-grade fixtures help ensure long-term durability.

3. Industry‑Leading Sustainability & Circular Construction
All modules are prefabricated in a controlled lean-management factory environment, minimizing on-site waste, noise, and dust. BIM technology supports multi-disciplinary design coordination and improves accuracy. Bolted connections allow full disassembly, reuse, and relocation, advancing circularity and low-carbon operation. The solution aligns closely with Europe’s green building and carbon-reduction goals.

4. Exceptional Speed & Economic Efficiency
The modular approach directly addresses Gibraltar’s challenges of limited land, high labor costs, and strict waste regulations. The 226 modules were delivered and positioned in six days, with structural assembly completed in 14 days. — far faster than conventional construction. Factory prefabrication cut material waste, lowered logistics and port storage costs, and reduced financing expenses by accelerating project delivery and operational readiness. Long-life materials and a reusable structure deliver strong long-term value and return on investment for owners and operators.

5. Seamless Cross‑Border Collaboration
The project brought together CIMC MBS, Beijing Construction Engineering Group International (BCEGI), and UK/Gibraltar design teams to align design standards, technical specifications, and material approvals. This successful collaboration blended global design standards with advanced modular construction expertise, earning strong praise from local architects and government authorities.

Proven Global Delivery Platform

Behind the project’s success is CIMC MBS’s consistent innovation and delivery capability. Backed by more than 300 patents and over 200 completed projects worldwide, CIMC Modular Building provides end-to-end modular solutions spanning design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, installation and project delivery.

The company serves a broad range of sectors, including senior living, housing, hospitality, education and public infrastructure, helping clients accelerate schedules while improving cost certainty, quality and sustainability outcomes.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams and partners across multiple countries,” said Victor Zhu, Director and General Manager of CIMC Modular Building. “We will continue to create greener, more efficient, and more high-quality living environments for communities around the world.”

A successful student pilot demonstrates how secure digital records and AI guidance can help them access education, employment, housing, and life opportunities

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vaultzy, an AI-powered document management and life assistant platform, today announced the successful completion of a pilot with Miracle University, demonstrating how secure digital records and intelligent guidance can help students overcome barriers to education, employment, and economic mobility.

California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, noted, “Never expired. Never lost. Your vital documents, all in one secure place.”

For many students, particularly those facing economic hardship or life disruptions, lost identification, unavailable transcripts, and scattered paperwork can delay enrollment, employment, housing applications, financial aid, and access to public services. Vaultzy was created to address this challenge by providing a secure, user-controlled platform for lifelong document management.

Beyond document storage, Vaultzy recently launched the first version of its AI-powered Life Agent. The platform allows users to interact with their personal records and receive guidance related to major life transitions. By understanding what documents a user has available, the Life Agent can help identify requirements and next steps for education, employment, healthcare, government services, financial planning, and other important milestones.

The pilot was conducted in partnership with Miracle University, a Sacramento-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students who have left the traditional education system earn their high school diplomas and achieve academic and career success. The initiative focused on helping students digitize, organize, and securely manage their most important records while introducing them to emerging technologies that can support their long-term success.

“Our mission is to help students overcome barriers and unlock their full potential,” said Dr. Kadhir Raja, Founder of Miracle University. “Students need access to their documents, confidence in managing important life transitions, and guidance on what comes next. Vaultzy helps bring all of these together, empowering students to navigate education, employment, housing, and other life opportunities with greater confidence and independence.”

The pilot demonstrated the importance of giving individuals lifelong access to trusted records while providing the tools and guidance needed to use them effectively. As California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, noted, “Never expired. Never lost. Your vital documents, all in one secure place.”

Looking ahead, Vaultzy plans to continue expanding its AI-powered capabilities. “We envision a future where every individual has a trusted AI companion that not only safeguards their records but also helps guide them through life’s most important transitions,” said Avanti Ramraj, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Vaultzy.

The success of the Miracle University pilot is helping inform broader discussions with educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, and public-sector leaders interested in modernizing how individuals manage and access trusted records while receiving guidance through important life transitions. One of the most promising opportunities is the potential application of Vaultzy within programs serving foster youth, seniors, and other underserved populations.

Vaultzy is an AI-powered document management and life assistant platform that helps individuals securely store, manage, and share important records throughout their lives.
