PROJECT: Washington Street Station, Portland, Oregon
ARCHITECT: ZGF Architects
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: Hoffman Construction Company
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Area Separation and Emergency Exiting

Project description
Providing for passenger safety was a key concern of architects and contractors for the recently completed Portland Light Rail Project, Oregon’s most visible public works project. Won-Door FireGuard™ doors were installed at the Washington Park station to provide the fire separation and emergency exiting between the inbound and outbound train platforms, 244 feet below grade, and the elevator lobby area as well as the exit stairwell located in the lobby area. These are the only exits from each platform with an occupant load of approximately 750. The doors are also used to provide access control during routine maintenance.
