NEWS

Roofing work begins on campus

In an effort to enhance existing facilities, Auburn University at Montgomery recently began phased roofing work for Taylor Center and the Administration Building.

Standard Commercial Roofing and Envelope Solutions began vacuuming and removing a layer of rock ballast, which protects the flat roof surface from moisture and heat, at Taylor Center with expected completion on Wednesday. Vacuuming of the Administration Building roof will take place between Fri., May 24, and Wed., May 29. The process could create periodic, excessive noise disturbances at both locations.

Tear-out of the existing Taylor Center roof and installation of new, modified roofing will begin on Tues., May 28, with expected completion on Fri., June 14. The contractor will also replace 14 Taylor Center roof drains between July 14 and August 9. Tear-out and installation of new roofing, flashing and sheet metal for the Administration Building will take place between Mon., June 17, and Wed., July 17.

If you have questions about the project, contact Chief Campus Services Officer Daryl Morris at 334-244-3295 or [email protected].
