Modular housing system and methods for using the same

Abstract

A modular housing system and methods for using the same are provided. In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the modular housing system comprises: a plurality of prefabricated system modules that are vertically aligned with each other and joined with a first fastener assembly to form a central system module having a front perimeter portion and a rear perimeter portion; a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) module that is connected to the rear perimeter portion of the central system module; an elevator module that is connected to the front perimeter portion of the central system module; and a plurality of prefabricated housing modules that are connected to the central system module, the MEP module, and the elevator module, wherein each of the plurality of prefabricated housing modules is vertically aligned with each other to form a stacked housing unit and joined to the central system module and the elevator module with a second fastener assembly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular housing system, comprising:
 a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) module that includes a plurality of utilities connectors that are configured to connect each of a plurality of utilities between a utilities source, a first plurality of prefabricated housing modules, and a second plurality of prefabricated housing modules;   the first plurality of prefabricated housing modules that are connected to the MEP module, wherein each of the first plurality of prefabricated housing modules is vertically aligned with each other to form a first stacked housing unit that is connected and joined to the MEP module with a fastener assembly; and   the second plurality of prefabricated housing modules that are connected to the MEP module, wherein each of the second plurality of prefabricated housing modules is vertically aligned with each other to form a second stacked housing unit and joined to the MEP module with the fastener assembly and wherein the first stacked housing unit and the second stacked housing units are formed on opposing ends of the MEP module.
