PROJECT: The J. Paul Getty Center, Los Angeles, California
ARCHITECT: Richard Meier & Partners
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: Dinwiddie Construction
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Protection of vertical openings; occupancy separation

Project description
Architects for the Getty Center in Los Angeles utilized the Won-Door FireGuard™ system to address a variety of challenging safety issues from protection of vertical openings to occupancy separation. Over 6600 square feet of Won-Door FireGuard™ doors were used. There was virtually no opening -- whether curved or extraordinarily large -- that couldn't be spanned by the two-track system. Won-Door™s are completely concealed when not in use and require no floor track so the grandeur of the interior was never compromised by the sight of traditional fire doors.
