Administration Building – Coahoma Community College

The Vivian M Presley Administration Building was constructed in 2011 and following construction completion, several instances of water intrusion were experienced during wind-driven rain events.  CxGBS® was contracted to investigate and perform testing to identify the sources of the water intrusion.

Added value through CxGBS® services:

CxGBS® identified several deficiencies in storefront assemblies and building waterproofing systems including the following:

• Improperly installed flashings
• Improperly lapped or shingled waterproofing membranes
• Missing end dams in sill flashings
• Gaps in window gaskets allowing air infiltration through the window assembly
• Missing thermal breaks allowing condensation to form on aluminum mullions
• Degraded and/or missing sealants
• Discontinuities in air and water barrier systems
