To remedy this, a central service elevator was relocated, a move that further opened up the core of the building for improved patron circulation and enhanced natural light through the circular skylights of the building’s soaring new central atrium. As for Breuer’s staircase, it was restored and is now joined by a grand stairwell that more seamlessly connects to the library’s main entrance.... Read More

An ambitious plan to transform a 50-year-old, 13-story office building into a 16-story, mixed-use residential development was nearly stymied at the outset when asbestos was discovered in nearly half of the interior walls as well as in the sealant used to glue drywall to columns.

The structure was then improved by strengthening more than 250 columns and adding shear walls and steel moment frames to support the addition of three new steel framed floors as well as the new precast facade. ...
