“Featured edition of Architectural Metal Summer 2001.

Architect: Martin Sweet with Integrus Architecture Spokane, Wash.

Sheet Metal Contractor: Carlson Sheet Metal Works Inc. Spokane, Wash.

Preserving the historic architecture of the early 20th century was the primary concern for the team working on the renovation of Monroe Hall for Eastern Washington University.

The craftsmen of Carlson Sheet Metal fabricated and installed new replicated cornices over a new metal stud and plywood substructure. Working closely with the project architect, Carlson designed the cornices as well as the nonpenetrating snow guards and rain diverters over the doors.

Taking special care to match the original cornices, Carlson fabricated the pieces from .032-inch aluminum sheet with a factory applied customized Kynar paint finish.

The installation was completed using fully concealed fasteners and continuous clips which resulted in a very clean look that allowed for natural expansion and contraction. Cornice seams were lapped 3 inches with a sealant embedded in them. Corners were riveted then vanstoned. Top joints were completed with sealed 1-inch standing seams.
