TEI Involved in Elevators for New Museum Addition in NYC

Long Island City, NY-based TEI Group is among contactors working on the elevator system serving the seven-story, 60,000-ft² New Museum addition at 231 Bowery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NYC. An expanded lobby will feature three new elevators, with two dedicated to gallery access, outlets including New York YIMBY report. TEI’s work consists of the modernization of one unit and a door upgrade for another. YIMBY reported that a façade of corrugated metal and aluminum composite was being installed in May ahead of anticipated completion next year. The new annex was designed by Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, along with Cooper Robertson & Partners, with a sleek angular profile that contrasts with the original structure resembling stacked boxes that was completed in 2007.
