Architects PLLC\/Sylvia Hardy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the building, Nelligan White Architects\u2019 team observed water penetration and building-wide damage to interior finishes caused by a combination of modern masonry repair failures with the deterioration of the backup masonry and mortar that work as a \u201cskin\u201d to protect the building. Additionally, the removal of the original projecting cornice because of cost constraints resulted in the unintended consequence of accelerating masonry deterioration. Once all the damage had been recorded and mapped, the team recommended full replacement of the masonry along with stabilization and repair of all backup masonry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All face brick was removed and replaced with new brick that replicated the original brick from the 1890s. Behind this new brick, a vapor barrier was applied and a narrow-cavity drainage plane was installed to create a protective barrier. A replica of the original cornice was installed using modern glass-fiber-reinforced concrete. The team also replaced the roof and cleaned up selected original stonework that remained. The result is the restoration of this beautiful, Beaux-Arts-style school that will be resilient for generations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Retrofit Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ARCHITECT: <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nelligan White Architects PLLC (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/nelliganwhite.com\" target=\"_blank\">Nelligan White Architects PLLC<\/a>, New York<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STRUCTURAL ENGINEER: <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Gilsanz Murray Steficek (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gmsllp.com\" target=\"_blank\">Gilsanz Murray Steficek<\/a>, New York <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MEP ENGINEER: <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Clifford Dias Consulting Engineers (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.diaseng.com\" target=\"_blank\">Clifford Dias Consulting Engineers<\/a>, New York<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GENERAL CONTRACTOR: <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Adams European Construction Inc.
