Interior Rehabilitation - Future

Designed by Clarence H. Johnston in 1906, and built in 1907, Folwell Hall is the 22nd building on the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus.

The University of Minnesota considers Folwell Hall to be one of it’s premiere historic buildings on campus and is

considered to be eligible for National Register Status per the criteria set forth by the Secretary of Interior Standards

for historically significant buildings.

Sustainability at the University of Minnesota is a continuous effort integrating environmental, social and economic

goals through design, planning and operational organization. The University of Minnesota is committed to incorporating sustainability into its teaching, research and

outreach and the operations that support them.

Masonry Techniques for Historic Buildings

Secretary of the Interior’s Standards

Standards set by the Secretary of the Interior to promote consistent preservation practices.

Provides a philosophical basis for assigning a prescribed approach for an individual building.

Offers technical guidance to achieve these practices through the Preservation Briefs.

STATE SUSTAINABLE BUILDING GUIDELINES

B3 State of Minnesota

developed for the State of Minnesota, the B3guidelines are intended to lead to a full accounting ofthe actual human, community, environmental, andlife-cycle economic costs and benefits of sustainablebuilding design.

Integrated Design - sustainabilityPHILOSOPHY AND WHY

WORLDWIDE, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTS FOR…

*all statistics current as of February 2008

17% fresh water withdrawals

25% wood harvested

33% CO2 emissions

40% material and energy use

The greenest building is the one that's already built.

Integrated DesignPHILOSOPHY AND WHY

innovative conservation to protect the environment

A BELIEF THAT-”green” is the profession’s standard

- The “greenest” building is the one already built

- fully integrated, multi-disciplinary design process is the only approach

- In providing facilities that are energy efficient, low maintenance, and adaptable is the best way to meet a client’s needs

- we will create a sustainable, environmentally responsible project in the end

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

Masonry Cleaning, Patching & ReplacementBrick and Granite

• All masonry elevations and chimneys examined and documented for masonry repair and unit replacement

• All masonry cleaned with Prosoco Restoration Wash

• 100% masonry tuckpointing – a well pointed wall will last 100 years

• Damaged (spalled and cracked) brick replaced

•Damaged granite patched in place due to unavailability of matching stone for replacement

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

Masonry Cleaning, Patching & ReplacementTerracotta

• All terracotta units examined for repair and/or unit replacement

• Structurally unsound cracked terracotta documented for replacement (546 units replaced)

• Chipped , crazed and cracked (structurally sound) terracotta patched in place using Edison Coatings Patching product

•Missing terracotta elements, i.e. finials and gargoyles, reproduced from historical documentation, plans and/or photographs

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

North Stair Reconstruction

• Document granite stair treads and walls for reconstruction

• Dismantle stair and side walls. Mark salvaged stone for replacement

• Remove crumbling limestone backup and supporting tread walls

• Rebuild backup and supporting walls with poured concrete foundation and CMU

• Relay salvaged granite stone treads and side wall veneer

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

Roof Work

• Complete roof tear off

• Roof deck inspected, and planks repaired/replaced as needed

• Waterproofing and Grace Ice and Water Shield applied

• New Ludowici clay tile and copper flashing

• Copper gutter liner

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

Roof Work

• Dismantle 11 chimneys down to attic floor . Rebuilt with metal structure, duct liner , spray foam insulation and brick veneer. Supported by structural steel framing in the attic and to be used for future mechanical air intake or exhaust.

• Brick to be salvaged for overall building brick replacement and chimney rebuilding. 6 of 11 chimneys to be built with new brick, to match exact documented dimensions

• 4 chimney bases (2 at each

east/west end) to have louvers installed for future mechanical air intake

• All chimneys to be 100% tuckpointed

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Folwell HallUniversity of Minnesota

Attic Structural Work • Selective demolition

required at the 4th Level for steel columns to support attic structural steel

• Selective demolition required at attic chimneys to accommodate and support structural steel

• Installed structural steel to support new platforms for future mechanical equipment in addition to supporting 11 rebuilt chimneys above the roof

Spray foam insulation applied to underside of roof deck. Merging green building components with a high quality rehabilitation.
