Cassell Coliseum – Exterior Concrete and Masonry Restoration
Blacksburg, Virginia
 
Cassell Coliseum is the primary Basketball Arena and related sports complex on the VPI&SU campus. Built in 1961, the building’s concrete and masonry exterior had experienced major deterioration with numerous spalled, cracked, popped-out and corroded rebar areas of the massive concrete flying buttresses readily evident. HDH’s design approach: (1) repair all deteriorated concrete buttresses and cracks in exterior walls; (2) clean all exterior concrete and masonry surfaces; (3) remove and replace sealant at all control and expansion joints; (4) weatherproof all exterior concrete and masonry surfaces with a liquid-applied elastomeric coating.

LANE HALL – Coping Stone Replacement, Window Replacement, and Complete Cleaning and Tuckpointing
Blacksburg, Virginia
 
Lane Hall is reported to be the second oldest building on the VPI campus. It was constructed of solid brick bearing walls with wood structural framing in a late Victorian architectural style. The combination of a partial mansard roof and central tower topped with a cupola and flagpole creates a very unique design. Originally constructed as a cadet barracks, the building now serves as office space for the Humanities Department.

The project consists of replacement of century-old double-hung windows and frames, all exterior wood cornice molding, the entire cupola, and refurbishment of the front porch millwork. All millwork is designed to maintain the existing architectural character. Work also includes refurbishment of the main building standing seam metal roof, and replacement of the front porch roof, as well as metal shingles on the mansard roof and cupola. Exterior brick masonry is also to be refurbished.
