Abstract
This 200,000 square foot (18580 square meters) project exceeded that the level of expectancy. A thorough predesign pahse of roof system options and owner requiremients were reviewed with the owner. The design and installation challenges were many. In addition to a demanding new roof system design, masonry restoration, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, sheet metal, asbestos removal, glazing and drainage concerns needed to be addressed. Additionally, an adjacent new construction addition needed to be coordinated into this project. Student safety also had to be addressed. The project took 9 months to complete and is an outstanding example of how teamwork, good design, materials, and installation result in a high quality roof systems. This paper will review the design approach, decision making process. Owner's expectations/concerns, along with solutions and present day thoughts.
