Syracuse University
Syracuse, NY
Scope of work
Problems Solved
Vertical Access has assisted John P. Stopen Engineering Partnership with the hands-on investigation of several buildings on the campus of Syracuse University.
In 2007, VA performed the close visual examination of two residence halls: Lawrinson Hall and DellPlain Hall. Lawrinson Hall is a concrete structure with pre-cast concrete spandrel panels and column covers. DellPlain is a curtain wall structure with enamel spandrel panels and limestone column covers.
In 2011, VA performed the hands-on investigation of Booth Hall, a residence hall similar to DellPlain. All three structures were originally designed by King & King Architects in the 1960s.
