Roofs soon fixed

Rest assured that Cal State Long Beach students and faculty may no longer face another rainy winter of annoying roof drips.

Sections of roofs and covered walkways were replaced in the University Music Center, the Health and Human Services buildings, the Physical Education Building and the Vivian Engineering Center.

All of the roofs being replaced have been patched before because of leakage problems.

"These buildings were leaking more than any other building on campus," said Mike Kelly, assistant director of Planning and Design Services. "These buildings were on top of the repair list."

Construction on the four-building project began July 7 and should be completed by the end of this week, Kelly said. 

The contractor, Eberhard Roofing, has until Sept. 14 to complete the project.

The remaining work on top of the Vivian Engineering Center roof is minor, Kelly said, such as caulking, sealing and site cleansup. 

The continued roof repair will not disrupt classes, he said.

The $773,000 construction project is funded by the state through the differed maintenance fund, he said.

Planning for the project began two years ago, he said, but construction could not begin until funding became available this summer.

"Everything has been going very smoothly," Kelly said. "There haven't been any problems."
