Project Spotlight: Solving the Island Logistics Puzzle on Martha’s Vineyard
Building on an island presents unique challenges where logistics are not just part of the plan; they're the entire puzzle. For the essential new housing community at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital in Edgartown, MA, RC2 embraced this complexity, proving that with careful planning and strong partnerships, no location is out of reach.
This vital project held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 20, 2025. It showcases how modular construction can provide high-quality housing in the toughest environments.
A Masterclass in Modular Logistics
The journey from our factory to a finished building on Martha’s Vineyard involves transport by land, sea, and crane. Our project video highlights this incredible process, from the modules crossing the water by ferry to their precise placement on site. This video offers a powerful look at the planning and expertise needed to succeed in island construction.
A Landmark Community Delivered
The collaboration on this project resulted in a beautiful new community for Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. It consists of 90 modular units across several buildings. The project’s significance and successful completion were acknowledged at the official ribbon-cutting event, attended by Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. During the ceremony, Denise Schepici, President and COO of Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, praised the teamwork that made this achievement possible.
“...and thanks to the Ritz-Craft Corporation, who built these modular units and worked on-site assembling the units with meticulous craftsmanship and partnership with Columbia...”

Strong Partnerships Made It Possible
Island construction requires a higher level of collaboration. We extend our sincere thanks to our expert partners who played a key role in bringing this vision to life: Columbia Construction, JM Quality Construction, Baxter Crane, and our dedicated transport teams. Their shared commitment to precision was essential in navigating the unique demands of this project.
At RC2, we thrive on solving complex challenges to strengthen communities. The Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Housing project is a powerful example of how we build on innovation and teamwork to deliver exceptional results, anywhere.
