May 23, 2019

EXPLANATION:
The Gould Memorial Library (GML) and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans (HOF), designed by Stanford White of the architecture firm McKim, Mead & White around 1892, are the centerpieces of the Bronx Community College. The exterior of the GML and HOF, along with the interior of the GML, are New York City, State and national landmarks. The GML's roof includes a copper clad dome with skylights and Guastavino vaulting which is a technique for constructing robust, self-supporting arches and architectural vaults using interlocking terracotta tiles and layers of mortar to form a thin skin, with the tiles following the cu Ne of the roof.
While exterior materials have generally proven to be quite durable over time, water filtration through the GM L's roof is compromising the integrity of the structure and interior finishes, and repair work is a priority. A condition assessment study completed in February 2018, which amended the 2005 Conservation Plan, determined a need for substantial exterior and interior renovations and recommended a 5-stage construction phasing approach to restoring the GML to active use. The Dome Renovation Project is one of the critica_l repairs under Stage 1.
The Dome Renovation Project will replace approximately 60% of the GML's entire building roof, which is the highest priority area. The scope includes replacement of the copper clad dome roof, including repairs, waterproofing of the dome structure, and replacement of the glass oculus at the top of the dome.
The Dome Renovation Project will be managed by DASNY, and the contract(s) will be held by DASNY.
The undersigned hereby certifies that (i) the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the resolution adopted at the regular meeting of the Trustees of the City University Construction Fund held on May 23, 2019; (ii) at such meeting, a quorum of Trustees was present; (iii) the resolution was adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than four Trustees present at such meeting; and (iv) the resolution has not been amended or rescinded since the date of adoption.
