Building Envelope Restoration at the Historic Groton Public Library

GRLA initially conducted a 17,000 SF building envelope condition assessment and leak investigation study for the circa 1893 library building and contemporary addition located in a local historic district in Groton, Massachusetts. This led to recommendations for replacements of the low slope membrane, slate roof, and copper gutters, as well as brick masonry repairs, and wood window restoration.

The first phase, which are repairs to the low slope membrane roof, replacement of the slate roof, and installation of new copper gutters, is currently underway.
