SGH assisted Gensler with designing plaza waterproofing, exterior wall waterproofing, curtain walls and windows, and low-slope roofing. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Reviewed design concepts and helped select building enclosure systems and components
• Helped develop details to integrate the various systems, including transitions between the existing wall systems at the base of the building and new cladding systems above
• Prepared design performance criteria to include in the project specifications
• Reviewed building enclosure submittals and visited the site to observe ongoing construction to compare with the design intent
• Witnessed water testing of exterior wall mockups and helped the project team modify detailing to improve performance
• Participated in construction meetings with the subcontractors to discuss constructability and help them coordinate existing and new construction
• Developed details based on existing construction alignments to address variations between as-built conditions and the proposed design
• Collaborated with the construction team to help them implement complex expansion joint transitions at the plaza level
