Renovation of an educational facility in Monroe, Michigan. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Built in 1991, Whitman Center is a single-story, approximately 18,000 square-foot building with low-slope single-ply membrane and steep-slope asphalt shingle roof coverings. At intersecting gable roofs over the two wings of the L-shaped building, a portion of the steep-sloped roof is cutout to accommodate a lowsloped roof area where the building's rooftop air-handling unit (AHU) is located. The AHU and low-slope roof area are located directly above MCCC staff and faculty offices. Water leakage from the AHU roof area has reportedly been ongoing since at least 2016 and occurs during wind-driven rain events. Water drips onto and through suspended acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) in staff and faculty rooms below the AHU. In 2024, WJE performed a water infiltration investigation to assess the cause of the leakage. The investigation revealed that water enters breaches in ductwork flashings around supply and return ducts at the AHU, collects within and travels along flutes of the corrugated metal roof decking below, and exits the roof assembly through gaps and penetrations in the decking. This set of Bid Documents describes the project work necessary to mitigate the current leakage at the duct penetrations.
