About this project

The full replacement of the over 100-year-old slate and copper roof at the US Naval Academy’s Sampson Hall was a project that would take nearly 16 months to complete and require the artistry of Wagner’s top metal craftsmen. Given the secure nature of the Naval base, Wagner employees were required to obtain and renew strict security credentials and background checks to access the Naval facilities, an extra layer in an already complex logistical landscape.

It's all in the details

Yet another complex demand for artistry came with the 34 custom copper-clad dormers that were sprinkled through the slate mansard. Each dormer received a new standing seam roof, copper wall cladding, mitered copper moldings, and copper window wells. The detail that went into the outside miter of each copper molding on all 34 dormers was particularly impressive. The decorative window fascia profiles were created in-house and then hand-mitered and soldered in the field, a feat that would need to be replicated 68 times across a 100-year-old structure.
