USC Dr. Verna and Peter Dauterive Hall

SGH assisted HKS with the design of the below-grade and plaza waterproofing, low- and steep-sloped roofing assemblies, curtain wall and window systems, and exterior wall cladding.  Highlights of our work include the following:

• Reviewed design concepts and provided system and detailing recommendations to improve performance
• Helped develop building enclosure details, including seismic joints at the intersection with existing structures
• Evaluated proposed systems for differential movement and helped the architect develop details to accommodate deflection and drift
• Provided design performance criteria for building enclosure systems and components necessary to convey the requirements to the bidding contractors
• Observed ongoing construction of the building enclosure to compare with the design intent
• Used three-dimensional modeling and prepared photo mark-ups to help the design and construction team resolve complex details and construction sequencing
