BILCO Door Allows for Critical Egress At Iconic New York Landmark

Project Snapshot

• The New York Public Library expanded its research capacity by constructing the Milstein Research Stacks beneath Bryant Park.

• The multi-phase renovation, completed in 1992, transformed the 10-acre park into a layered public and archival space with integrated library infrastructure.

BILCO Products

• The project included a custom BILCO double-leaf floor door designed to meet the emergency egress needs of a large, below-grade facility.

• The door's heavy-duty construction supports constant pedestrian use in a high-traffic urban park, while maintaining long-term functionality.
