Goodspeed Opera House
East Haddam, Connecticut
Roofing

Description:
The historic Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam is a 19th century landmark in the state of Connecticut and has been recognized internationally as the home of musical theater and nationally for its contributions to regional theater. Extreme time constraints due to performance scheduling required that the reroofing work be performed in just two calendar days.

The firm of Martin A. Benassi, AIA - Architect was retained to evaluate existing conditions and make recommendations, prepare contract documents, assist the owner in obtaining bids and oversee construction. After a thorough roof evaluation was performed, the decision was made to use a fully-adhered, single-ply membrane over mechanically attached rigid insulation. This system provided the most cost effective solution while working within the strict two day limit.

Scope of work included:

  • Roofing
  • Cost of construction: $40,000.
