This patent describes a reinforced concrete building module, including in combination: first and second spaced-apart elongated vertical sidewalls each having first and second vertical edges of a predetermined height on opposite end; third and fourth vertical and walls each having first and second edges on opposite ends thereof with the second edges extending upwardly a greater distance than the first edges with the first edge of the third end wall being of the predetermined height and connected to the first edge of the first sidewall and the first edge of the fourth end wall of the predetermined height and connected to the first edge of the second sidewall. The second edges of the third and fourth end walls are connected together at a line beyond the space between the first and second sidewalls; fifth and sixth vertical end walls, each having first and second vertical edges, with the second edges extending upwardly a greater distance than the first edges. The first edge of the fifth end wall are of the predetermined height and connected to the second edge of the first sidewall and the first edge of the sixth end wall being of the predetermined height and connected to the second edge of the second sidewall. The second edges of the first and sixth end wall are connected together at a line located beyond the space between the first and second sidewalls; roof means, having a curved shape in all cross-sections covering the space enclosed wherein the first and second sidewalls are parallel to one another, the third and fifth end walls are parallel to one another, and the fourth and sixth end walls are parallel to on another to cause the building module to be in a generally boat-shaped configuration and where all of the walls and the roof means are constructed of reinforced concrete.
