SUMMARY

Project Name: Key Recreation Center Roof Replacement

Department: Parks & Recreation

Start Date: 7/01/2023

End Date: 12/31/2024

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Key Rec Center serves as a contributing structure to the Charlottesville Downtown architectural fabric. It houses a public Recreation Center and operations for the Downtown Ting Pavilion.

Key Rec Center utilizes a compilation of slate and flat membrane roofing systems totaling just over 10,000sf. A 2018 roofing assessment performed by Grimm & Parker Architects (attached) indicated that the slate portion of the roof (the bulk of this roof) is in poor condition and should be replaced within 5 years (CY 2023). This project contemplates replacement only of the slate portion of the roof.

A 2013 project was undertaken to extend the service life of the slate roof. And, it did. However, the roof assessment team estimated in 2018 that, at that time, there were several hundred slate shingles which require replacement. Things have not improved since then. Some slate is now becoming dislodged and may present hazardous conditions. The existing slate roof area of the building is now experiencing some leaking conditions which may hamper Parks & Rec programming and service delivery.
