What Is the RapidDeploy 120 Sleeping Shelter?

The RapidDeploy 120 Sleeping Shelter is a compact modular shelter system designed primarily for emergency and transitional occupancy.

Unlike a traditional ADU or residential housing unit, the 120 is intended to provide secure sleeping accommodations within larger shelter communities where shared support facilities may be provided separately. The shelter does not include an in-unit bathroom and can be configured with one bed, two beds, bunk beds, or a Murphy bed depending on occupancy needs. Optional provisions for a television, compact kitchenette space, refrigerator, and sink can also be incorporated based on project requirements.

These units can support:

• Emergency housing deployment
• Homeless shelter communities
• Veterans transitional housing
• Rapid disaster response housing
• Temporary shelter villages
• Temporary accommodation programs

The modular design allows units to function individually or as part of larger scalable shelter communities depending on project requirements.

Engineered for Speed, Durability, and Repeatability

Bathsystem USA designs every RapidDeploy shelter system with constructability, long-term durability, and operational efficiency in mind.

Factory-Built Steel-Framed Construction

Durable galvanized steel framing improves structural consistency, moisture resistance, transport durability, and reduces weather-related delays.

Portable Modular Deployment

Portable shelter units can be transported and installed quickly across urban, rural, and remote locations.

Reduced Site Coordination

Because major construction components are completed before delivery, installation becomes faster and easier to manage.

Scalable Housing Deployment

Whether a project requires 10 units or hundreds of shelters, the system supports repeatable large-scale deployment.

Wash-Down, Sanitizable Interior Design

The RapidDeploy 120 can be configured with washable, easy-to-sanitize wall and flooring systems, allowing faster cleaning, disinfection, maintenance, and turnover between occupants in high-use emergency housing environments.

Fully Integrated Shelter Units

Each RapidDeploy 120 Sleeping Shelter is engineered around simplicity, durability, and operational efficiency.

Typical Unit Features Include

• Electrical systems and lighting
• HVAC and ventilation systems
• Insulated wall and ceiling assemblies
• Durable galvanized steel framing structure
• Sanitizable, washable interior wall systems
• Easy-to-maintain flooring finishes
• Secure entry systems
• Single-bed, two-bed, bunk bed, or Murphy bed layouts
