Z Modular Manufacturing Plant Tour - Modular Apartments
2025-03-28 13:00 - 14:30 | Z Modular Chandler, 6205 S Arizona Ave, Chandler, AZ, 85248, United States
The March tour is being hosted by STG Design and Z Modular.
Z Modular is a modular manufacturer specializing in off-site fabricated apartment housing across the US and Canada. The event will tour the factory floor starting with raw steel and walking attendees through each phase of the construction process. At the end of the tour, attendees will be able to see a finished model unit of what the end user would inhabit. Modular and off-site manufactured housing aims to speed up construction in a controlled environment by delivering needed housing to markets on a faster timeline. In a plant setting, an indoor construction environment allows a safer and better work culture, leading to less turnover than that seen on typical construction sites and a higher-end finished building.

Attendees must be in full PPE. At minimum this means closed-toed shoes and full-length pants. Attendees will not be allowed on the factory floor with open shoes or heels. If attendees have hard hats, vests, and safety glasses they are encouraged to bring them. If not, we will have PPE available on site.

We will meet in main lobby. Security is strict so the front door may be locked after we begin. Late attendees may not be able to enter. Please be prompt!
The maximum capacity of the tour is 25 persons, so RSVP early and if your plans change, please notify pastpresident@nomaarizona.org so that we can give someone else the opportunity. RSVP Here.
Bottled water and restrooms will be available.

Hello everyone! On April 19th, we will be talking about “Being Curious with Confidence” and how that may look different in our adulthood compared to our childhood. Curiosity is a powerful force that drives exploration, learning, and growth.

But does this change as we grow older? If so, when and why does this shift occur? We invite you to join us on April 19th at Moka & Co for this insightful topic to hear other people’s thoughts, opinions, and experiences!

About Moka & Co: Moka & Co is a Yemeni coffee shop that recently opened a new location in Mesa, AZ. Their mission is to: “Deliver an amazing, unique taste of culture, served with a high standard of hospitality.”

What are Coffee Talks? Coffee Talks are a NOMAarizona monthly event. Order a warm or iced beverage of your choice from rotating cafe locations around the valley.
