Abstract/Summary
This paper outlines the refurbishment of the exterior wood panels located on the Simpson Strong Tie Building on the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus. This project focuses on the two large 50 square foot wooden panels that act as an exterior skin for the Simpson Strong Tie Building. This project is an individual project that was broken up into 4 phases. This paper will cover all 4 phases of the refurbishment process. These phases include the removal, sanding, staining and reapplication of wood panels onto the Simpson Strong Tie Building. Furthermore, this paper will go in depth about the building permit process and the struggles experienced communicating with the owner and architect during the preconstruction phase. Many struggles had to be overcome during the refurbishment process such as managing a project on an active campus, as well the refurbishment process itself. There were many unforeseen conditions that were experienced during the construction phase due to inadequate project details from the architect, OMNI Design Group. The purpose of this project is to give back to the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Construction Management Department by refurbishing the weathered and aesthetically unappealing exterior wooden panels on the Simpson Strong Tie Building.
