SUWill Receive $8M Donation
By SHAWN J. SOPER
NEWS EDITOR
SALISBURY – Salisbury University officials last week announced the school will receive an $8 million gift for the construction of a new Academic Commons building, including a state-of-theart library. The Guerrieri Family Foundation last week announced the $8 million gift to Salisbury University (SU) for the construction of the Academic Commons complex including the new library. The gift is being made in the memory of Patricia R. Guerrieri, an SU alumna for whom the new complex will be named. “We are grateful for the opportunity to honor our mother at the very place where she first met our father, on this campus, in a way that expresses our love for her and shares with those who did not know her what a truly amazing and gracious person she was,” said Foundation spokesman Michael Guerrieri. At an estimated 234,000 square feet, the $115.8 million facility is the largest construction project ever undertaken at SU. Echoing the classic architecture of ancient Rome and Athens, the new complex is expected to become a gathering place for intellectual, social and cultural pursuits and will likely become the hub of campus life.
“The Guerrieri family has been a longtime friend of Salisbury University,” said President Janet Dudley-Eshbach. “I was fortunate to have met Patti and to have shared my dreams for the university with her. I think she would approve of the impact this new center of learning will have on our students, the university and on the greater community.” Patti Guerrieri met her future husband, M. Alan Guerrieri, while an elementary education major at SU, then the Maryland State Teachers College. After their marriage, they continued to live in Salisbury and in Ocean City. Three of their children attended the Salisbury State Campus Elementary School, a laboratory for classroom teaching and innovation and the site of that former building will be the location of the new Academic Commons complex. The latest gift by the Guerrieris continues a long pattern of donations to the university by the local family. In 1990, the Guerrieris announced the gift of a $1 million scholarship fund, which, at the time, was the most generous endowment for scholarships in the history of the school. In 2000, a $500,000 gift from the foundation established the Guerrieri Research Fund for equipment and materials for students and faculty in the university’s Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology.
URETHANE FOAM ROOFING & INSULATION
WHY SPRAY FOAM? Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is the ideal method for insulating commercial and residential buildings. Spray foam stops air and moisture intrusion, cuts energy bills, strengthens the structure, and protects the internal air from mold, airborne pollutants, and allergens, thereby creating healthier buildings. UNVENTED ATTICS In cold climates, the primary purpose of attic or roof ventilation is to maintain a cold roof temperature to control ice dams created by melting snow, and to vent moisture that moves from the conditioned space to the attic. Melted snow, in this case, is caused by heat loss from the conditioned space through air leaks. In hot climates, the primary purpose of attic or roof ventilation is to expel solar heated hot air from the attic to lessen the building's cooling load. SPF can be applied in sufficient thickness to satisfy local energy code requirements, directly to the underside of roof sheathing between rafters or joists of any slope in all (heating, mixed and cooling) climates. This configuration controls the entry of moisture- laden air into the insulation and also eliminates dew-point occurring at the underside of the roof deck and anywhere in the insulation. Due to the fully adhered properties, air and moisture are displaced out of the insulated space, including at rafters and sheathing. Moisture cannot enter the insulated space from any direction, eliminating the requirement for roof venting. A SUPERIOR SUSTAINABLE ROOF Bayseal SPF Insulation Roofing, when used with BayBlock elastomeric coatings, creates a complete roofing system that insulates, protects, stops leaks, adds structural support to the building, and cuts the amount of radiated heat into the building, thereby cutting energy costs. Bayseal SPF is a rigid, closed-cell plastic created by a combination of two liquid components, which react in seconds and can be walked on in a matter of minutes. The resulting roof system provides superior insulation and creates a lightweight, seamless, waterproof blanket over the substrate. Bayseal spray foam adheres to almost every surface (BUR, metal, cap sheet, EPDM, and others), so there's no need to tear off your roof when its reached the end of its life-cycle. Merely spray on Bayseal insulating spray foam, coat it with Bayblock coating, and you have a new roof!
