Tapered insulation and large,galvanized steel gutters were added during the <br /> reroofing to provide minimal slope and to collect the rainwater and divert it to the grade. <br /> According to The Garland Co..,a roofing consultant that assessed the condition of the roof <br /> earlier this year, the existing single-ply roofing membrane and the roof insulation needs to be <br /> replaced and the perimeter flashing needs major repairs. <br /> • An interior that has not changed significantly in 40 years. Metal lockers line the corridors. <br /> Some of the existing home economics cabinetry is still in use. <br /> • A building program that includes classroom space.for grade two through five, the school's <br /> media center, the school's administrative offices and the data distribution room. The <br /> building serves the program adequately,but does not meet NCDPI guidelines for school <br /> construction. A computer lab located near the media center works well,and a campus <br /> television studio which is prized by school staff. <br /> • Interior partitions that are primarily 8"concrete masonry. The doors and door frames are <br /> predominately original. The floors are mostly vinyl composition tile(some placed over vinyl <br /> asbestos tile) in corridors and storage rooms and carpet in the classrooms, offices and media <br /> center. An elevator with a first floor machine room was added in 1990. <br /> • Odors emanate from various rooms around the building. More than likely,these smells are <br /> caused by water penetration from the roof,walls, windows or other source,and mold. <br /> • A lack of ventilation. When the air conditioning was provided.in 1990,no ventilation vents <br /> were created for the unit ventilators in the classrooms or offices. The HVAC system consists <br /> of a two-pipe heating system and a two-pipe cooling system that feeds unit ventilators located <br /> on the floor in each room The boiler is located in the old boiler room. <br /> • A rodent problem. Rodents from the boiler room travel along the pipe chase along the north <br /> side of the First floor. <br /> The 200 Building opened in 1952. The 200 Building exhibits the following features: <br /> • A one-story, lightweight,structural steel flame with a concrete slab floor and a"Cemesto <br /> Insulation Roof Deck". <br /> • An exterior wall consisting of 12"thick masonry end walls,8 W'thick masonry walls below <br /> window sills and aluminum windows that extend the length of the building. The walls at the <br /> ends of the building are made up of a 8"concrete masonry unit and a 4"exterior brick and, <br /> the walls under the sills are made up of a 4r concrete masonry unit,a rh"air space and a 4" <br /> exterior brick. The original windows were replaced in about 1990 with an aluminum window <br /> system that allows heat to transfer through the window frames. During site investigation, it <br /> was noted that the weepholes(holes that allow the air cavity to release water) i.. .he Lxtrerior <br /> walls were small holes(about the diameter of a pencil) and could beclogged easily. <br /> •, A rooPthat has reached its useful life and needs to be replaced. A four-ply,coal tar built-up <br /> roof that was replaced in 1984(18 years old). The origins!roof deck was truly flat and has <br /> no gutters or other internal drains,so the rainwater drains off the edge of the roof onto the <br /> ground. According to The Garland Co.,a roofing consultant that assessed the condition of <br /> the roof earlier this year,the existing built-up roofing and the roof insulation needs to be <br /> replaced and the perimeter flashing needs minor repairs. According to the consultant's <br /> report,there are two roof layers that must be removed prior to reroofing of the building. <br /> (919) 942-8586 Telephone R051602existingfacilities.doe <br /> (919)929.4802 Pax <br />
