Metra Building
Building compression, environmental conditions and steel corrosion lead to a variety of exterior challenges including:
- Missing and spalling terra cotta pieces
- Spalling brick masonry
- Deteriorated or cracked mortar joints
BAMR erected scaffolding on the north and east elevations to complete the following repairs:
- Salvaged all terra cotta pieces, as possible
- Replaced missing or broken terra cotta pieces
- Installed new steel shelf angles and anchorage to secure the replaced pieces
