Roofing System on Wexford Science & Technology Facility
Bade Roofing Company used its experience with TPO roofing systems to design and install an energy-efficient roof on the Wexford Science & Technology lab and research facility in St. Louis' historic Central West End neighborhood. A component to meeting the state-of-the-art facility's strict energy and environmental guidelines, the facility's complete $73 million restoration earned it a LEED Platinum certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. This project is one of only a few LEED Platinum-certified renovation projects in the region.
With energy efficiency a major consideration, Bade Roofing specified a 60-mil, white Ultra-ply TPO fully-adhered roof system manufactured by Firestone Building Products for the building's flat, structural concrete and metal decks. The three-level roof totaled 102,400 square-feet.
