WAYFINDING SYSTEM: STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION LIBRARY
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library opened to the public in fall 2021 as The New York Public Library’s largest circulating branch. The state-of-the-art library features eight floors of amenities and services, including four floors of general collections, reading rooms, a variety of event spaces, and a rooftop terrace.
In partnership with BBB (Beyer Blender Belle), our comprehensive wayfinding system provided clarity and information for branch patrons. Other design elements for the site included direction for two large-scale art installations and a robust design and content strategy for 20 digital screens throughout the building.
