Savery Hall (ca. 1920) is among fifteen buildings selected by the University of Washington for restoration. The extensive masonry restoration included removing hazardous paint, installation of new terra cotta units, seismically retrofitting the brick veneer, repair and installation of new sandstone, and repointing and cleaning the building. The full masonry restoration culminated in the installation of newly fabricated terra cotta units, replacement of raked brick mortar joints with weathered joints to shed water, seismic retrofitting of the brick veneer, repair and installation of new sandstone, and cleaning of the building. The interior has been remodeled using several sustainable and energy efficient design strategies. Submitted to achieve a LEED Silver rating, Savery Hall is on track to receive Gold certification.
