Restoration / Roofing
Description:
Graduate Housing, constructed in 1961.
Martin A. Benassi, AIA - Architect performed an exterior and interior
survey of the Yale Graduate Housing facilities in New Haven, Connecticut. All
exterior masonry, glazing compounds, sealants, roofing and windows were
inspected in addition to an analysis of fire egress conditions relative to code
compliance. As part of the survey, roof test cuts were made with samples sent
for laboratory analysis and verification of material content. This information
was used in determining remedial methods for repair and replacement. Careful
inspection of window profiles and conditions also revealed the need for total
replacement of storm windows, sashes, awnings, frames and glazing compounds
totaling over 200 units. The buildings, originally designed by Paul Rudolph in
1961, are comprised of 50 individual apartment units and a family day care
center. The roofing area totals 19,000 square feet. |
