Renovation of an educational facility in Columbia, Missouri. Working plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

As of March 13, 2026, project will be rebid. No definite date for the rebid. Memorial Student Union Memorial Student Union is a historically significant structure that has served as a landmark on campus for decades. The roof system, originally constructed with natural slate, has experienced deterioration over time due to age, moisture infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, and thermal movement. These conditions have led to cracked and displaced slates, compromised underlayment, and insufficient flashing details at transitions. This next phase of roofing restoration will include removal and salvage of existing slate where possible, replacement of damaged or missing slates with matching material, installation of new underlayment and flashing systems, repair and resetting of ridge and hip slates, and integration of modern waterproofing techniques while preserving the historic character of the roof. The University reserves the right to waive informalities in bids and to reject all responses to this request for qualifications and advertise each project publicly.
