University of Connecticut
Groton, Connecticut
Structural Stablization / Window
Replacement
Description:
The Branford House is a turn of
the century mansion constructed of steel frame set in
masonry walls with stone veneer. Structural deterioration
was discovered during a recent interior restoration
project. The University of Connecticut retained the
services of Martin A. Benassi, AIA - Architect to
investigate and report on the extent of structural
deterioration and method of repair. In conjunction with the
structural repair, the decision was made to replace all of
the existing windows with a more energy efficient aluminum
unit carefully matching the original window profile based
on photographic research.
Interior finishes such as plaster work
and finish carpentry were required in relationship to the
window / structural repairs. Miscellaneous exterior repairs
included repointing and sealant work.
Scope of work included:
Window Replacement
Structural Repairs
Interior Finishes and Plaster
Restoration
Sealant
Masonry Repointing
Cost of construction: $1,100,000. |
