Charlottesville high school Roof Replacement

FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET

SUMMARY

Project Name: Charlottesville High School Roof Replacement

Department: Public Works Department

Start Date: 5/01/2022

End Date: 8/1/2024

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Charlottesville High School was constructed and opened in 1974. The current, 217,000 square foot roof was installed in 1997. This is its second roof and is a black 60mil EPDM membrane fully adhered over tapered rigid insulation. The roof was covered under warranty, which has since expired. A roof assessment was completed in 2008 by Heyward Boyd Architects. Based on recommendations in that 2008 study, the City of Charlottesville engaged a contractor in 2011 to perform the remedial work designed to extend the lifespan of the roof. We are now beginning to face the inevitable end of useful life for the CHS roof system. By 2023 it should be expected that the roof membrane will be 26 years old, degraded beyond repair, and should be replaced.
