Most of the roof of South Dakota’s State Capitol Building in Pierre– with the exception of the copper dome– will be getting replaced next year.
Kristine Day with the Office of the State Engineer says the Capitol Complex Restoration and Beautification Commission approved the replacement during a meeting last week (Dec. 13, 2023). She says parts of the roof had been leaking and a mid-summer (July 18, 2023) hail storm did the rest of the damage.
Day says they plan to use a rubber material to replace the roof.
Day says they considered several factors before deciding to recommend the rubber shingling.
Day says the roof replacement will happen this coming summer (June of 2024).
