 | This monumental restoration project included seismic work that relocated the entire foundation on high tech collars that allow the structure to move freely in case of an earthquake. |
The exterior of the Utah State Capital capitol design is similar to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D. C. and falls into the broad category of Beaux Arts influenced architectural style. The Utah building perhaps achieves some of its grandeur from the use of the same elements such as the porticos, pediments, and monumental columns-onto the simple, but carefully proportioned, rectangle. The building is 404 feet long, 240 feet wide, and 285 feet to the top of the dome. The Utah Capitol rests on a raised, rusticated basement with monumental flights of steps leading to doors recessed behind the Corinthian columned porticos. The columns, along with the rest of the exterior, are constructed of Utah granite taken from Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake County.
 | The dome and columns are similar in design to the US Capital in Washington DC. |
Re-View designed and fabricated huge 6 foot by 14 foot casement windows for the dome of the capital. These massive window units were craned into place where the Re-View installers set them in the opening. The project involved asbestos abatement of the existing windows and the certified Re-View crew effectively managed the handling of all ACMs. Re-View applied a rich interior factory stain finish and a glossy two-tone exterior.
Since the windows had been replaced 40 years ago by aluminum windows, Re-View was selected to design, manufacture and install historically correct mahogany windows that would match the windows that were originally installed when the capital was built. Re-View spent months refining designs that would capture the original elements and carefully added features like modern weather strip and insulated glass to achieve a more energy efficient system.
