before
The more than 40-year-old Tawes Hall offered
much-needed classroom space to the University but
was in need of renovations to bring it up to the school’s
standards. Included in the plan was the replacement
of the building’s existing 60,000-square-foot, multi-
sloped concrete-tile roof. Because the school wanted the
new roof to blend in with the other campus buildings,
EcoStar Majestic Slate tiles in federal gray were chosen.
After each section of concrete tile was removed, plywood
sheathing was installed over the existing concrete-plank
deck. EcoStar’s AquaGuard underlayment was installed
over the plywood sheathing, and EcoStar’s Glacier Guard
underlayment for water and ice protection was used at
the eaves, rakes and valleys.
