A comprehensive plan to reduce losses from water damage at a university

Water damage to buildings at research institutions is disruptive and costly. Research Universities have a unique variety of building stock varying from high hazard research laboratories to traditional offices, dorms, multifamily student housing, libraries, residences and rental properties. Each of these represents different challenges. Institutions can benefit from an integrated response to water events that includes prevention and mitigation strategies to reduce the cost and improve the durability of buildings.
