Hackett MS<br>Albany, NY

The William S. Hackett Middle School is one of the schools in the City School District of Albany. The facade of the classic, transitional-style 1920s building appeared to be in good condition, although a closer inspection revealed deterioration of elements caused by decades of water exposure and leaking. Klepper, Hahn & Hyatt completed a review of the building exterior, including the roof parapets and balustrades, copper and stone cornices, the building facade and the main entry stair foundations. We detailed our findings in a report and made recommendations for the repair of all of these building elements. A Phase II project, involving structural design and site design, will be completed in 2008.
