Green Bay Campus construction updates

Mary Ann Cofrin Hall: May 17 – November 20

Update: Tentatively, roofing will begin on June 7, 2021 at the southeast corner of the building and will proceed in a counter-clockwise direction. The contractor will remove and reinstall only the amount of roofing that can completed in one day.

This summer, contractors will remove and replace failed wall sealants; repair of brick and limestone masonry and mortar; remove ornamental steel frame at north elevation; wet seal window glazing gaskets; replace damaged thru-wall flashings; improve deficient areas of thermal and air barriers at roof to wall transitions; replace approximately 39,700 sf of standing seam metal roofing and associated metal fascia and soffit; install gutters and snow retention systems at metal roofing; replace approximated 2,000 sf of below grade water proofing system, replace approximately 280 sf of EPDM roofing; rehabilitation of sloped glazing system; replacement of approximately 2030 sf of translucent panel skylight system; correction of site grading and drainage issues. This work will start after the conclusion of the Spring semester. It should be finished by the start of the Fall semester. Building occupants will experience noise interruptions during this work. When possible, we will try to coordinate larger noise events with occupants ahead of time.

Wood Hall: May 17 – November 20

Update: The EIFS panels are being removed along the west side of the building and will continue in a counter-clockwise direction. They are planned to be finished removing the panels by June 7.

This summer, contractors will remove approximately 16,000 sf of EIFS 43 and replacement with insulated metal wall panel system; rehabilitation of existing aluminum glazing 44 systems using existing window components and new sealants; repair of cracked and severely spalled 45 structural cast-in-place concrete; installation of snow guards at a building entry roof. This work will start after the conclusion of the Spring semester. It should be finished by the start of the Fall semester.

Cofrin Library: May 24 – July 26

Update: The anchoring system will start on the north side of the building. We will be inspecting the interior spaces of the third floor for access to the outside wall in rooms 303b, 304, 305a, 305b, 305d, 305e, 307, 306a, & 306b.

Contractors will install mechanical anchor systems into six locations of 228 square feet each on the exterior brick façade. Each area is located between the third and fourth floors of the building. Noise will be a major factor during this installation. Some minor vibration may be noticed by occupants on these floors of the building. Contractors will provide protection at each plaza entrance and/or will close entrances on an interim basis based on their work in that area.
