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
