PUTTING A FLAT STEEL ROOF ON THE GYMNASIUM OF THE NEW MARTIN J. SWEENEY HIGH SCHOOL IN CLEVELAND, OHIOSubmitted by Satinder P S Puri on Mon, 01/13/2014 - 20:18.
A new high school -- with a suggested name of Martin J. Sweeney High School is under construction on West 140th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. The photograph shown above, showing the gym with the steel-framed roof, is from the webcam mounted on the construction site: 01-13-14 at 3:14 p.m. For more up-to-date pictures use the following link: Http://oxblue.Com/open/greenspace/johnmarshallhs View dated 12-16-13: The cinderblock walls of the gym have been erected to their full height. View dated 12-23-13: steel trusses running in the north-south direction (left to right) are in place. Each truss is supported on walls at each end (left and right). View dated 12-31-13: Steel deck units are being placed on top of the trusses. The deck spans east-west (top to bottom). View dated 01-08-14: Steel deck units continue to be placed on top of the trusses. Note: Waterproofing and insulation will be placed on top of the steel deck. The new school -- a jazzed up warehouse – is being built on the cheap -- using cheap materials (cinderblocks) and zero craftsmanship -- without a basement, auditorium, swimming pool, or underground running tracks. New school is being built above the grave which contains the pulverized remains – bricks and stones of the old school. The destruction was brought about by vote rigging & other irregularities committed by corrupt politicians (Mayor Frank Jackson & Councilman Martin J. Sweeney) & a visionless & corrupt Cleveland Metropolitan School District -- and their multitude of cronies. May the names of the following who facilitated the senseless destruction – forever live in infamy: Mayor Frank G. Jackson; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: REALNEO: Please see previous posts all related to the Save John Marshall High School campaign.

Safety of roof new at JMHS
Mr. Puri - as an engineer - could you explain the problems that are likely to occur with the flat roof constructed at the "new" JMHS? Just looking at your images - I can see East High's failure happening all over again...
Possible Safety Problems with Flat Roof for Gym of New School

Laura: The “flat roof” will have a slope of 1/8 inch to ¼ inch per foot to facilitate drainage. Flat roofs with side parapets can accumulate more snow than pitched roofs (similar to our houses) – but with modern codes – the effects of the additional snow are accounted for in the design of the supporting steel structure. .
If the drainage clogs and ice piles up – more than the weight of the snow included in the design of the supporting steel structure – then this extreme condition can cause sagging and possible collapse.
The new school has the blessings of Councilman Sweeney – a corrupt politician – who is known not to treat adversaries kindly. Let’s hope Mother Nature will not mess with our powerful councilman and leave the new school alone – no one knows how he will display his wrath..
Acute Aesthetic problems- flat cement bloc Mart Sweeney High Sch
This is for certain the UGLIEST structure I have seen.
If anyone knows of an UGLIER structure, please email me with your information.
Welcome to the first day of SCHOOL, students.....
Clearly, Mr. Sweeney has no design pride.
Councilman Sweeney's opinions
Jeff: Councilman Sweeney who has said he has no appreciation for either art or architecture -- believes the new school will be a beautiful building. In addition, he has stated that the new school (without an auditorium or a swimming pool or underground running tracks -- like the historic JMH that Mr. Sweeney helped destroy) will be a state-of-the-art high school for the 21st century.
Utter nonsense!
