Project Case Study
University of Akron, Auburn Science Center Parking Deck and Plaza Repairs
With future plans to expand the library and add new classrooms, the University
of Akron decided to also perform the much needed remediation work to the
connecting five level parking garage. Work began in December 2000 and
was completed by June 2001. Nathan Contracting worked hand-in-hand with
the University of Akron, and Welty Building Company, Ltd. making certain
that the work was performed with as little inconvenience as possible to
the students and faculty of the University and without compromising the
progress schedule and milestones of the project.
The scope of restoration work included over 36,000 square feet of parking
deck repairs, over 4,600 lineal feet of carbon fiber reinforcement
in the existing classrooms and laboratories, crack repair by epoxy injection
and numerous repair of spalls on beams, columns, walls and under slabs.
To complete the project, the entire
garage was painted. The painting included the ceilings, walls and
columns of each level of the garage. Finally, the exterior courtyard and
planter areas were waterproofed to complete the job.
