KSU Student Center Facade Restoration

WGI performed a condition survey at the building to review the exterior brick masonry wall, window, storefront, balcony, plaza, and soffit components to make recommendations for their repair and maintenance present the associated opinion of probable repair costs. We reviewed the existing conditions and recommended performing repairs to correct deficiencies and waterproof the systems.

WGI subsequently performed design, bidding, and construction administration services for the recommended repairs. Repairs included masonry repairs (masonry replacement, crack repairs, installation of expansion joints, mortar repointing, and masonry cleaning) and exterior wall waterproofing repairs (sealant replacement and installation, building joint expansion replacement, and application of a clear water repellent). Plaza repairs included concrete repairs, installing a new plaza membrane, exterior stair repairs and application of an epoxy deck coating system, and replacement of handrails and railings. The project also included removing and replacing the soffit with a new exterior metal panel ceiling system.

Project Highlights:

• Masonry Repairs
• Sealant Repairs
• Plaza Waterproofing
