Envelope Evaluation:
University of Illinois,
Critical Examinations
AltusWorks prepared Critical Examination and Scope Development
Documents for seven buildings at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The educational, research, and administrative buildings were built
between 1910 and 1960 and ranged in height from 5 to 13 stories.
The construction types included heavy timber, concrete framing with
brick, limestone & terracotta masonry cladding, reinforced concrete
structure with window walls, and pre-cast concrete panels. The
evaluation process adhered to Rules and Regulations of the City’s 2008
Exterior Wall Ordinance. The evaluations resulted in seven comprehensive
reports outlining observed conditions, failure modes, repair
recommendations, and projected budgets. |
