It was closed. They predicted that the second roof would collapse at any time.

Re: South gym roof collapse
Since nobody was hurt. This is actually a blessing.
Insurance will cover this. MSU Will be able to upgrade both gyms And not have to use their donations or state allocated money. Win win

Re: South gym roof collapse
Romney, Brick Breeden, Montana Hall, Lewis, would argue the answer is no. Yes, strip malls, and many commercial buildings have flat roofs, but I'm not sure the argument holds one way or the other. How many flat roofs are at Big Sky for example?TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 1:22 amDon’t almost all buildings, aside from churches and home, have flat roofs?catsrback76 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:52 amI'm curious how many flat roof designed buildings are in the new plan?
The argument can be that these were older buildings that have lived a life that when stressed at this level are under serious jeopardy. The point I am asking is, (and I know I posted that flat roofs can handle loads like this), that is it cost effective one way or the other in light of the fact that we are being told that climate and storms are increasingly not following normal trends? Would it be wise to do what people do who live in high show load zones do...they build with a pitch?

Re: South gym roof collapse
Why would insurance not cover much? Each building’s value should be regularly updated on the policy. If we have insurance, the value should be significant. It might not cover replacement value, but the coverage should be enough that replacement can be expected in the near future.FTG247365 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 7:00 pmNow IF insurance covers the ignorance from the early 70s it won't cover much.

My observation is that most buildings, aside from churches and homes, do have flat roofs.
Have any other buildings in/around Bozeman had their roofs collapse?

Re: South gym roof collapse
Those building aren't or weren't worth much @ basically a warehouse used as a gym. My point is I don't think insurance will cover a new building, with the new standards, like steel building, steel trusses, and maybe a pitched roof.Cataholic wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 7:15 amWhy would insurance not cover much?

Re: South gym roof collapse
Agree that the buildings weren’t worth much, but I am pretty sure a businesses can choose to insure a structure for close to replacement value. The business will have to pay a premium that is adjusted for the amount of increased insurance coverage chosen and the insurance company can also choose to deny the coverage if the building is too much of a potential risk. I am real curious as to how MSU insured the structure. We might even find that there is a large amount of self insurance/deductible with coverage for only large catastrophic losses that cover the campus as a whole.FTG247365 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:59 amThose building aren't or weren't worth much @ basically a warehouse used as a gym.

It is a really interesting question though as it is a state owned building. There may be a level of self insurance at the State level for state owned structures that fail. Can anybody think of a similar instance in the past and how it was handled? Maybe a state owned bridge failure? Can anybody recall a similar event happening at with any Montana university structures and how it was handled?

Almost certain both gyms will be replaced with 1.5 story parking garages.Cataholic wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:23 amAgree that the buildings weren’t worth much, but I am pretty sure a businesses can choose to insure a structure for close to replacement value.

I definitely don't understand the insurance world, curious if MSU will use this as a chance to turn this into a positive and build something the they can grow into and will stand fast of time.

Re: South gym roof collapse
You have zero clue as to what you are talking about. Polson is going through something similar. 1940s gym roof collapsed due to snow. Travelers Insurance to replace with like new structure at todays rates.
