Contract to install elevators at the New York Public Library

TEI Group to install five (5) elevators at the New York Public Library at 455 Fifth Avenue, comprising 4 overhead gearless and 1 geared traction elevators.

Designed by architects Mecanoo and Beyer Blinder Belle, the library will get a $317M make-over.  The new plan will increase the library's public space by roughly 20 percent. Former staff and storage spaces will be transformed into public spaces for research, exhibitions and educational programs, while underutilized historic spaces will be outfitted for research and programming. A new Center for Research and Learning, designed to help high school and university students utilize the library, is also part of the plan.

There will be new bathrooms, as well as a new rotating exhibition of NYPL treasures in the library’s Gottesman Hall. The only change to the building's iconic exterior will be an entrance plaza added along 40th Street, complete with a new elevator bank to ease congestion throughout the building.
