Velocity was engaged by Manhattan University to rehabilitate Hayden Hall, a 64,467 SF building composed of three distinct sections: a six-story pitched-roof structure and two five-story flat-roof wings. The building envelope consists of brick veneer, stone coping, and double-hung windows.
Long-term water infiltration had caused significant deterioration, including failed coping joints, cracked parapets, and delaminated window lintels. Water intrusion from the parapets also contributed to roof system failure. To address these issues, Velocity developed a comprehensive rehabilitation program that included replacement of coping stones, parapets, and associated masonry; reconstruction of reinforced brick veneer; and installation of a new roofing system. Mechanical and electrical system upgrades were also incorporated to complement the building envelope improvements.
