Grand Forks conditions

  • 01

    Grand Forks pairs a major university with an Air Force base to its west, giving the market an unusual concentration of institutional and hangar-scale roofs

  • 02

    The surrounding northern Valley is sugarbeet and potato country, where crop storage buildings must hold a narrow temperature and humidity band for months at a time

  • 03

    At 38.8 inches of snow and an 80F July high, Grand Forks runs colder and slightly drier than Fargo, 75 miles south

  • 04

    Hangar and large-span roofs near the airfield expand and contract across a far wider annual temperature range than the buildings downtown, and their seams show it first

  • 05

    The university and medical buildings in Grand Forks are occupied year-round, which rules out tear-off scheduling and makes an over-the-top restoration the practical option

Institutional roofs here are held to long service lives and are rarely available for tear-off, while the agricultural processing buildings north and west of the city carry crop storage conditions inside them.
