Safety renovations for the Statue of Liberty.

When Keast & Hood, Structural Engineers were contacted one day in April 2009 and asked to be at the Statue of Liberty the following Monday, the authors had yet to learn what to expect. What followed was a four-year journey that would take them to nearly every interior corner of the iconic National Monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site. That journey, with a design team led by Mills + Schnoering Architects working under the auspices of the National Park Service, resulted in significant life-safety improvements to the Monument as described in the June 2014 Structure article Designing Life Safety Renovations for the Statue of Liberty.
