Inaugurated in 2007, the Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA) stood as a landmark on Tempe’s waterfront, with a roof exhibiting intricate geometric designs defining the Tempe skyline. However, the roof’s shortcomings surfaced less than a decade into its existence, revealing rust, leaks, and other significant damages due to poor material choices and installation methods. The City of Tempe initiated a bid for a robust roofing system.
The TCA’s architecturally lauded roof revealed alarming flaws in under a decade. It suffered leaks and rust, damaging the center’s interior even in the desert. The initial installation had significant design and installation deficiencies, from failing flashings to inappropriate, light gauge metal instead of the recommended structural grade aluminum. These issues, compounded by poor weatherproofing details and an uneven deck foundation, led to panel warping, stress, and attachment failures, necessitating urgent intervention.
