Nipmuc Regional High School consists of 13 different roofs with varying systems such as standing seam metal roof, asphalt shingle, EPDM membrane, as well as concrete pavers over EPDM creating an accessible patio space. All of these roof systems will be replaced as a part of the MSBA accelerated repair program. This project is currently in the CD phase.
General John Nixon Elementary School was originally built in 1959, with renovations in 1994. The Town of Sudbury is looking to replace the roof at the 1994 addition, consisting of six different roof levels. Majority of the roofs included in this project scope consist of an adhered EPDM membrane, with one roof consisting of a metal paneled system. There are several locations where failure is evident and many attempts have been made to stop leaks. Replacement of these systems are necessary.
Civitects was retained by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to investigate locations where roof leaks are occuring and to develop a plan for the replacement of the existing roof system
Josiah Haynes Elementary School was originally built in 1964, with subsequent renovations occurring in 1998. There are a total of 10 different roof levels including asphalt shingle and black EPDM. There are multiple examples of failure across the different systems, with attempts to seal and patch leaks. Leaks are becoming evident on the interior as well and the roof requires replacement to mitigate future issues.
This study looks at the envelope of the original section of the Charlton College of Business building, including the EPDM roof and the aluminum frame windows. Improper construction detailing at the second and third floor windows and curtain walls has led to water infiltration and caused interior damage. This study includes options for the repair or replacement of the exterior cladding systems and roofing, including rooftop units and fenestrations.
Renovations to the Lynn Vocational Technical Institute and Field House consist of the replacement of all existing windows and entrance/egress doors including
overhead doors. The original classroom and office unit ventilators are also to be removed and replaced, as well as the removal of existing window air conditioners. The scope of work includes asbestos abatement, demolition, miscellaneous metals, metal windows, doors, frames & door hardware. In addition, two toilet rooms were modified for accessibility.
