University of Connecticut - Avery Point Campus
Groton, Connecticut
Exterior Restoration
Description:
During the turn of the century, the Avery Point Campus of the University of
Connecticut was a seaside estate, with some of the
buildings from the original estate still in use today.
The Police Headquarters Building and the Facilities
Buildings are among these. These buildings were
constructed using steel and wood framing with stone masonry and slate shingles. When the University of
Connecticut needed to restore
these buildings, they contracted with the firm of
Martin A. Benassi, AIA - Architect to provide a
solution. This project included the following:
Removal of existing roofing materials down to
original wood deck;
Extensive restoration of cupolas;
Miscellaneous exterior sealant and painting;
Installation of new slate shingles including all
related flashing and snow guards;
Copper sheet metal work including gutters,
counterflashing, downspouts,
and "dragon-back" ridges;
Exterior masonry restoration.
Approximate cost:
$755,000
