Mary E. Gearing Hall (GEA)
Project Description
The subject project is an existing 4-story structure (approx. 60,621 GSF) located on the University of Texas campus in Austin. The building was constructed in 1932 and features a limestone façade, clay tile roofs, and low-slope membrane roofs. The façade includes numerous window openings featuring the original wood-framed windows, with some windows having been modified over time.
Engineered Exteriors provided building envelope consulting and design services, including review of a previously prepared feasibility report by others, a visual assessment of the exterior walls, windows and roofs to verify findings. Following the assessment, EE provided repair design documents for the exterior wall repairs and re-roof as well as bidding assistance and construction administration.
