Morgan State University has selected Eastern Highway Specialist to perform structural repairs to the Student Center Garage adjacent to the school's football stadium. The garage was built on a fill of various materials and has had a settlement issue since it was constructed about 20 years ago.
The repairs involve installing micropiles into bedrock and expansion of the structural slab that supports the stair tower in the southeast corner of the garage. Once the structure is stabilized, EHS will repair damaged concrete, brick façade, architectural glass panels and expansion joints.
