A Case Study in Structural Renovation and Masonry Restoration
The four-story South Building at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), a prominent school located in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, sits on a 67,760 m2 (14 acre) site that contained approximately a dozen buildings. The entire site comprised the former Mount Sinai Hospital before CWRU purchased the property in the early 1990s for expansion of the campus offices and laboratories. The South Building was originally built in 1914 as a collection of wings that jutted out from a central stem running in the east/west direction. After an extensive feasibility study of all the buildings on the property, the easternmost wing of the South Building was identified for rehabilitation, while the remaining portions of the building were to be demolished. This portion of the building was selected to remain largely because of the classic architecture of its east façade and for its existing floor live load capacities.
