Yes... there's certainly a steel skeleton, but an awful lot of wood is used. It would be interesting to learn what type of wood is being used, how green it is and how they've managed to get it to meet the fire proof standards that Public Schools (Private Schools ?) must satisfy ? Also, Homosote is that soft material that's often used for insulation more than a finihed surface. Oftentimes, Homosote will be used for note boards that will have push pins stuck in them. So is Homosote (made from recycled newspapers, by the way) really the interior finish surface ? Interesting. Yes… there’s certainly a steel skeleton, but an awful lot of wood is used.

Do butterfly roofs present any extra maintenance issues compared with other roofing styles? Is there usually a slope on the intersection to keep leaves, etc. from accumulating?
