<br />HEBARD & HEBARD ARCHITECTS, INC. THE TOWER BUILDING, 216 West Washington Street SUTH BEND, IN 46617 574-234-8907 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />June 6, 2022 <br /> <br />Certificate of Appropriateness for <br />SBCSC Service Building <br />420 S. Eddy St., South Bend IN <br /> <br />Historic Preservation Commission of <br />South Bend and St. Joseph County <br /> <br /> <br />WRITTEN DESCRIPTION EXISTING CONDITIONS: <br />The existing windows on the West Elevation are original to the building consisting of single pane glass in <br />non-thermal metal frames. Operable vent sashes are project-out awing function. The window units are <br />on five-foot wide modules. This is typical for windows on the main and upper level. At the north and <br />south ends of the building there are single story portions of the building with similar window units, and <br />deep overhanging soffits. These window units are not thermally efficient in glazing, frames and <br />composite assembly. The thermal value for a single pane glazed non-thermal frame window unit is less <br />than R-1 at center of the glass. <br /> <br />Refer to the existing building elevations photos included with this Application package. <br /> <br />OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT: <br />The Owner requested Hebard & Hebard Architects to design facade improvements that would enhance <br />the building appearance and reduce energy consumption. A design concept was developed that includes: <br /> <br />- Insulated glass in thermally-broken aluminum window units with R-3.5 at center of the glass <br />specified <br />- Sun shade louver mounted on the windows replicating the deep overhangs on the north and <br />south ends of the building <br />- Accent paint the horizontal metal fascia on the deep overhangs at the north and south ends <br />- Metal panel graphic signage <br /> <br />The contract cost to replace the windows and enhance the west elevation is $249,000 of the $257,800 <br />total contract. <br /> <br />Refer to the renderings included herewith this Certificate application. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br />John Arndt <br />John Arndt, RA <br />Project Architect <br />Hebard & Hebard Architects, Inc. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />- Photos of building existing west elevation (14) photos <br />- Renderings of the west elevation with new windows and sun shade louvers, and painted fascia (2 renderings)
