Smathers Library Envelope Restoration

BBI was selected to address several water intrusion issues throughout the Smathers Library building envelope. The scope of work included repointing the brick façade/capstone, restoring steel/wood windows, rebuilding roof dormers, installing liquid applied flashing, and repairing interior stucco finishes. All exterior envelope repairs were required to adhere to historic preservation guidelines and maintain the historical character of the building.

An interesting construction space within the library was the Judaica Suite. Especially restrictive controls were placed on this project site as this space housed an extensive collection of historical Jewish literature and artifacts.
