PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NURSING
Established in 1918, the Prairie View A&M University College of Nursing moved to their current location
in the medical center in 1983 and became a participating member of 42 institutions supporting the Texas Medical Center’s operation. The initial building at this location was demolished and a new state-of the-art, 12-story building was constructed in 2005. Zero/Six performed an evaluation of the building’s exterior envelope in light of water infiltration experienced during Hurricane Harvey. Zero/ Six conducted a forensic investigation via rope access to provide a thorough review of the building envelope, utilizing infrared photography and performing diagnostic water testing per AAMA 501.2 at selected exterior transitions and glazing interfaces. The team also reviewed architectural drawings made available by the University to consider underlying conditions.

HARRIS COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE CENTER
The 21-story Harris County Criminal Justice Center was constructed in 1999 and is the largest of its kind in the United States. The building has been completely shut down due to significant damage from water infiltration during Hurricane Harvey. Through on-site discussions with our client and building personnel, we discovered that water infiltration occurred through penetrations in the basement
level, a missing flood gate on level one and various locations of the exterior envelope. Zero/Six performed an extensive evaluation of the building’s façade, utilizing rope access equipment and a boom lift to determine the causation of water infiltration and assess the life cycle of envelope related components.
