Critical Needs Assessment: State Theater – Emergency and Temporary Protections 1. Moisture Control: The building presently has ongoing detrimental moisture infiltration at the roof, with two major areas of concern, where active leaks have led to extensive interior finish damage and flooding. On the north wall towards the west end where a downspout presumably originally was located, prolonged moisture infiltration has caused a localized collapse of the gypsum roof decking opening a large approximately 10’x10’ hole in the portion of the roof along the parapet allowing the elements into the building. This damage has caused extensive plaster damage, and flooding in all the areas below it . The second area of concern is at the low spot of the roof parapet along the south wall where the auditorium and stage support areas meet. This second area also has active moisture infiltration because of missing parapet coping and damaged roofing membrane in this area. Water is entering the building down the face of the masonry wall and is spreading out from there via floors, and interior horizontal surfaces leading to extensive plaster and interior finish damage and flooring of the auditorium floor. Other moisture related issues relate to high levels of humidity due to the building’s high moisture content and lack of HVAC and climate controls, as well as minor leaks at window and door openings. The basements appear to have solid foundations, which would otherwise be reasonably dry if not for the flooding from the previous NORTH SIDE CEILING AT HOLE IN ROOF NORTH SIDE BELOW HOLE IN ROOF NORTH WALL, BALCONY, AND AUDITORIUM WATER & ICE ON SOUTH BALCONY
