University of Minnesota Goes Back to School with Roofing Preventive Inspection Program
MINNEAPOLIS — Seven years before Minnesota achieved statehood, the University of Minnesota was founded. Now celebrating its 170th anniversary, the public school has more than 280 buildings on its Twin Cities campus — more than one for every year it’s been in existence.
Since 2014, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has contracted Central Roofing Company to assure that the roofs on their campus structures stay in “Grade A” condition. The Preventive Maintenance Inspections (PMI) program is designed so that every foot of each rooftop is inspected, evaluated and reported on each year. This allows university officials to give approval on small fixes that are needed immediately, along with planning out for full roof replacements.
