Old Buildings

Wellington C. Mepham High School was completed in 1939. Old buildings are beautiful, but require lots of TLC. Our HVAC system was causing condensation to build up in our library dome and the paint and plaster started to peel. Our head custodian brought the concern to the Director of School Facilities & Operations and Security & Chief Emergency Officer and they decided to hire an outside company to repair the damage. We are currently about a week and a half in and you can see the progress from the photographs below. The work should take another few days to complete, but already it looks so much better. They have also started to insulate the surrounding area to prevent this from happening in the future. Stop by the library next week to see the final look. 

Interesting side note: The paint is white, but the LED lights that surround the dome give it a blueish-grey tint. In person, it looks much more white than it appears in the photos.
