The Mark
Scope/Solutions
Designed as off-campus housing for UT Austin students, The Mark offers 263 units, ranging from studios to six-bedroom apartments. The seventeen-story building includes a variety of amenities, including community lounges and gathering spaces, a fitness center, and a rooftop pool. SGH assisted with the building enclosure design for the project located just a few blocks west of campus.
SGH consulted on the design and detailing for below-grade waterproofing, panelized exterior wall assemblies, windows, balcony and amenity deck waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Recommending ways to improve function and performance with respect to thermal efficiency, condensation, and air- and watertightness.
- Reviewing the delegated design for the panelized exterior wall assembly and proposing methods to improve panel joinery, water management, flashing details, and constructability
- Helping develop complex transition details at amenity deck curbs, railings, parapets and rooftop planters
- Visiting the site to observe ongoing work and installation of the enclosure systems to compare with the construction documents and project requirements
- Conducting water penetration resistance testing on installed windows
