As one of North Carolina's oldest private colleges, Mars Hill College has many architecturally beautiful buildings, including river rock and mortar structures. Many of the campus buildings have existed since the college's inception in 1856. Other buildings were added in the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
As the buildings have aged, so too have the roofs that protect the students, faculty, administration and expensive classroom equipment. Leaking problems were prevalent on many of these buildings--which had EPDM roofs--causing disruptions for the occupied classrooms and offices. The Mars Hill maintenance staff was constantly dealing with leak calls and making roof repairs to the flat roofs.
