The project consists of four separate phases required to allow for appropriate swing space for all stored archives that normally, and will permanently, be incorporated in this renovated space after completion. The new HVAC system will allow for temperature and humidity to be controlled to 2 degrees or 1% humidity difference, which will dramatically change the life span of the archived elements and allow the elements to remain in their natural conditions for much longer periods. When performing the constructability and estimates for this project, EDiS realized the design incorporated a new EPDM roofing system. EDiS Building Systems was contacted and a presentation of the re-roof, utilizing Butler’s MR24 roof system, was submitted and accepted. Butler’s design was accepted based on longevity and quality of the roofing system. Ultimately this solution also allowed the existing roof to remain in place. With all of Hagley’s archives being stored in the spaces below the roof, EDiS Building Systems' approach did not require the roof to be removed, thereby eliminating the chances of water damage throughout the installation.
