tbs Services, Inc. was engaged by Princeton University as part of our on-call/term contract to provide the professional services required to design and document the new window systems for Firestone Library at several areas throughout the building, including the Hellenic Studies Reading Room, Dulles Reading Room, 1st Floor DeLong Room, and Stair Tower B Level B-17-19H Staff Lounge.
Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library building opened in 1948 and was the first large university library to be built after World War II. The library building was expanded in 1971 with the expansion of two lower floors and again in 1988.
In the latest phase, TBS designed the replacement of the third floor windows and restoration of all lead came windows, including at the tower, and completed a full survey of necessary masonry repairs.
TBS also provided the services required for construction administration/site observation during the execution of the work
