Designing Visitor Screening Centers at Historic Monuments and Landmarks
The Washington Monument, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. is welcoming visitors back this Thursday, September 19 after having been closed since 2016 for elevator repairs and the construction of a new visitor screening center designed by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners. The 555-foot-tall structure?s screening center replaces the temporary structure put there after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new glass-and-steel facility offers full ballistic and blast protection and includes queuing space for 18-20 visitors at a time, screening equipment, an accessible restroom for National Park Service and U.S. Park Police staff and a security office. More than one million tourists are expected to be screened there this year.
The center ? much like the newly-opened Statue of Liberty screening facility designed by architecture firm FXCollaborative on Liberty Island in New York City which sees more than four-million visitors per year  ?...
