Scaffold Resource was selected to provide DC code pedestrian overhead protection in support of a major structural modification project. The former Newseum location is being transformed into a new Johns Hopkins University medical research facility.
To allow for substantial façade modifications, the overhead protection system is providing vertical and lateral debris protection for foot traffic on the west side of the project. As an added feature, the roof portion of the overhead protection system has been installed complete with rubberized overlayment. This overlayment reduces the amount of overhead protection roof leaks caused by precipitation
