Gould Memorial Library

Inspired by the Pantheon, designed by McKim, Mead and White and constructed in 1899, Gould Memorial Library is a world-famous monument as well as an individual New York City Landmark. After 120 years the original stamped copper roofing and ornament was severely deteriorated and leakage was widespread,  so Nicholson & Galloway was contracted to perform the following work:

• 12,000 square feet of asbestos abatement
• 250 square feet of Guastavino tile repairs and replacement
• 3,600 square feet Sikalastic liquid membrane flat roofing and gutters
• 6,200 square feet of EPDM underlayment
• 6,200 square feet of stainless steel armature
• 6,200 square feet of custom stamped copper shingles
• 3,800 square feet of flat lock copper roofing, underlayment & plywood
• 240 linear feet of copper cornice
• 312 stamped copper ornament (Antifix)
• 200 square foot aluminum and glass cupola skylight
• 440 linear feet of permanent fall protection track
