Cornell University is seeking proposals from consultants to provide architectural and engineering services to repair a portion of the facade at Ives Hall East. Cornell University is seeking design services for the facade repairs at Ives Hall East, at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. A study was completed by Cornell Facilities Engineering in 2021 to investigate the existing conditions at the southwest corner and south facade of Ives Hall's east wing due to concerns raised during the 2020 roof replacement project. During the roof construction on the building in summer 2020, deficiencies in the stone masonry were observed including unstable stone which was deemed a life safety hazard. The masonry is temporarily covered with netting, at the recommendation of the Facilities Engineering team. This design effort is to use the findings presented in the Facilities Engineering study and develop bid documents to repair the stone, mitigate water infiltration and replace the low roof after the masonry deficiencies are addressed.
