Kimberley - Centre 64 Arts Centre Roof and Truss Upgrades

completed

The project will improve access to community and cultural space by replacing the roof structure of Centre 64, a 125-seat theatre and gallery in the City of Kimberley. Built as an armoury in 1926, Centre 64 has been the center of the arts community in Kimberley since 1976. Following a structural engineer’s inspection and report to the City of Kimberley, it was determined that reinforcement and repair of the roof structure was required to eliminate leaking and to bring the roof up to current snow load-baring code. The roof leak is causing damage to theatre seating and artwork. Parts of the building cannot be used to display artwork due to the potential for water damage. The improvements will ensure the centre remains open to the public for years to come. The project works will include: - removal and disposal of existing metal and waterproofing material; - straping of existing roof rafters with 2"x4" counter strapping to provide airflow; - installation of sheeting; - installation of new asphalt shingled roof and associated downspouts; - removal of existing insulation and replacing with R40+ polyurethane spray; - installation of interior roof structural members; - completion of interior dry-wall, finishings and painting; and, - all related works.
