PROJECT PROFILE
John Carroll University
When many of the structures on the campus of John Carroll University began to show the wear and tear of more than 77 years in the northern Ohio climate, there was no question that university officials would choose the time tested use of masonry restoration and repair to maintain the original beauty, character and design of many of their oldest campus buildings.
