The purpose of the KSU Jackson Hall Renovation is to re-construct deteriorated existing masonry parapet crenellations and to conduct minor roof repair and a limited area of roof replacement. The existing crenellations were constructed in 2007 to match historic battlements from the original building construction in 1897. The project scope includes removal of the existing crenelations, inspection and repair of existing sheet metal flashings, construction of new crenelations with new brick to match the existing historic brick, and installation of new sheet metal flashings. The scope of roof repair includes inspection of existing modified bitumen roofing membranes for damage and repair of damaged roof membranes. Limited area roof replacement at the tower includes removal of existing roofing and saturated insulation, and installation of new modified bitumen roofing and insulation to match the existing insulation thickness to coordinate with existing flashing and scuppers.
