Description:
Hawley Armory,
constructed 1915.
Over the course of years, water leakage though the
building's exterior had resulted in damage inside and out. Water infiltration
through various locations had caused extensive damage to the interior plaster
and wood finishes. Pre-cast concrete copings, where not missing , were
deteriorated to a point of exposing steel reinforcement bars. The State of
Connecticut, in an effort to preserve this historic landmark, hired
Martin A.
Benassi, AIA - Architect to review the existing conditions, prepare design
recommendations and complete construction documents as part of a package of
five buildings on campus. Specific remedial work included: complete replacement
of existing windows and doors in aluminum and wood: removal and replacement of
roofing in asphalt shingle and shingle-ply membrane; complete exterior masonry
restoration in brick, concrete and stone; structural reinforcement of interior
trusses. |
