Transform the thought of new construction by leasing a sustainable building that can be rapidly adapted to society's changing needs. The Boomerang Building is designed for deconstruction. Its components are made from recycled content, and the building is 100% repurposed after each use.

4161 Delp Street, Memphis, TN 38118  www.BoomerangBuildings.com

2. Tents were sustainable long before there
was a green movement.
Since 1924, Mahaffey has taken numerous
steps to adapt to these needs and
decrease our ecological footprint

3. All elements of these temporary structures are carefully
deconstructed after each use, cleaned in our water-
conserving washing machine and then refurbished or
repurposed for another project.
The LEED credit “Building Reuse” may be a target, as it
can be shown that the structure has been erected
before. It represents 1 LEED point potential in MRc3.

4. Once the structure has reached the end of its lifespan, it
is recycled after selective deconstruction by contacting
the local recycling centers and shipping directly to the
nearest mill or smelter. The frame is then melted down
and reused.
This can contribute to the LEED credit “Construction
Waste Management”. It represents a 1-2 LEED point
potential in MRc2.

5. The Boomerang Building was designed with these
goals in mind.

6. Industrial professionals lease a Boomerang Building
when:
• There’s need for immediate, fully functional space.
• New construction is not in the budget, but the demand
needs to be satisfied tomorrow.
• Frustrated that materials are being lost to theft and
weather damage.
• Project needs change and building(s) must be relocated
quickly.
• A conventional “tent” structure is not an option due to
high winds or other environmental conditions, such as
the need for thermal insulation.
• Seeking a competitive advantage by supporting
sustainable green initiatives.

7. Should the need arise for a temporary building and there is
a limited installation time frame,
Boomerang provides the ideal solution in just 21 days.

8. Can’t commit to a large capital
investment or new construction not
in the budget?
Boomerang’s short-term lease frees
up cash flow.
Money is always tight. If owners
were presented with an option to
bridge temporary needs with
sturdy, temporary buildings in lieu of
tents, they may choose this
alternative.

9. Benefits:
• Lease expense is fully tax deductible vs.
depreciation of permanent real estate.
• 1 LEED point potential in IDc1.1 by showing the
cost and CO2 savings.

10. Finally, the Boomerang is a smart alternative to the waste
of resources used constructing permanent buildings for
needs of only 2-5 years.
It has a high content of recycled materials, is reused each
time it is deployed and is itself recyclable at the end of its
useful life.
This can also contribute to the LEED credit “Construction
Waste Management”. It may represent a 1-2 LEED point
potential in MRc2.

11. :: Boomerang Building Mission ::
To transform design teams’ thought process of new
construction by incorporating a lease option for
temporary, sustainable buildings that can be rapidly
adapted to society’s changing needs, while causing the
least amount of negative impact on our environment.

12. Boomerang Buildings are fast and cost-effective.
Want one more reason? They’re green.

13. Green buildings:
• Reduce construction costs
• Reduce CO2 emissions
• Reduce environmental impacts of new construction
• Reduce liability, and by this, lower insurance costs
• Achieve more predictable results in the
design, construction and operation of built
environments
• Save money through tax benefits (lease cost vs.
depreciation deduction)
• Once the need no longer exists, the temporary
building’s site can easily be restored to its landscaped
origin.

14. The cumulative impact of the design, construction and
operation of built environments has profound implications
on the environment and the economy.

15. Consider the lifecycle of these buildings:
• Where did the building materials come from?
Recycled content.
• Where will they go after use? Repurposed.

16. LEED-related Components

17. Steel frame→ Nucor Yamato Steel in Blytheville, AR
• Total Post Consumer Recycled Content (Steel): 82.3%
• Total Pre-Consumer/Post-Industrial Recycled Content:
16.9%
• 70 miles from Mahaffey headquarters:
5929 Arkansas 18
Blytheville, AR 72315

18. Boomerang Building Installation

19. Guardian Steel™ Walls & Roll-Up Door → Haas Door
• Metal siding is made from steel that contains up to
80% recycled material.
• CFC-free polyurethane insulation, resulting in energy
efficiency, reducing the need for heating or cooling.
• Insulated structures help reduce CO2 emissions by the
lower energy need of building climate control systems.
• High quality, long lasting, factory-applied finishes
extend the lifespan of the siding, roof and roll-up door
elements and make them reusable over and over
again.

20. Maintenance Building

21. Temporary Manufacturing Facility

22. Metal Roof → MBCI in Hernando, MS
• Composed of 35% recycled content.
• 100% reusable after each application.
• Insulation value can be adjusted to owner’s need.
• Strength of structure can be adjusted simply by the
placement of the footplates.
• 25 miles from Mahaffey headquarters:
300 Old Highway 51 S
Hernando, MS 38632

23. Lighting System:
Energy-Efficient Fluorescent or LED Lighting
• Technology + Effective Design = Performance &
Energy Savings
• This system is designed using T5 (5/8" in diameter)
lamps, or LED lighting for improved energy efficiency.
LED luminaries are durable and reusable with a life
span of min. 5 years. It offers improved
efficiency, higher intensity and potentially longer life
due to reduced degradation in light output over
time.
• ENERGY STAR certified products

26. Gymnasium > Two Years Later

27. Materials & Resources
• We pay special attention to the selection of sustainable
materials and their procurement (lifecycle impacts)
o Practice sustainable purchasing
o Select highly recycled content materials
o Salvage all elements of the temporary building
o Reuse all elements with minor refurbishment
• Waste management
o Manage construction waste both during installation
and at the end of the components’ useful life.
o Salvage and reuse all materials used in the construction
process.

30. Site and Indoor Environmental Quality
• Integrated pest management: We have created a plan to
prevent pests from entering and damaging the building and its
contents.
• Select appropriate materials: Use low VOC emitting materials
(steel panels vs. fabric, no VOC emitting insulation) to limit off-
gassing.
• Use lighting controls: Lighting system to include timer to turn off
interior lighting and motion sensor as possible for energy saving
of exterior lighting.
• Control thermal comfort: HVAC systems controlled by a Building
Automation System to control indoor temperature as a function
of the exterior temperature and humidity.
• Provide daylighting and views: Utilize natural light with window
walls or skylight systems if requested.

32. As your needs change, so can your building, thanks to its
modular design and inherent flexibility.
Boomerang Buildings can be reconfigured, expanded and
relocated with ease.

33. This concept takes green building to the
next level.
It encourages project teams to create
environments that may be completely restored or
regenerated once the need for the temporary
building no longer exists.
Through this effort, we are ultimately able to
provide positive environmental, social and
economic impacts.

34. We’re not just creating a better building,
but a smarter one.

35. By using these structures “doing the right thing”
becomes the logical, economical and
environmentally correct choice.
Make a difference by leasing a temporary, sustainable
Boomerang Building.
