Video on the 3-story Box Office building in Providence, RI, built out of 32 shipping containers. The containers themselves went up in 4 days, though the foundation had to be in first and there was still a lot of work afterward -- only about 15% of the work was prefabrication, but it sounds like this was the first time the design company had tried using containers. According to this NPR story, it cost $1.8 million.
