For many years, the lobby aesthetic was the primary focus of every renovation conversation. And rightly so. The lobby establishes the tone. It reflects the building’s identity, its brand if you will. But in recent years, I have had more conversations about managing the tremendous influx of packages than about seating arrangements or chandeliers.

I was recently contacted by a New York City co-op and condo property manager who asked a very direct question.Have you designed buildings with electronic entry doors, and what are the real pros and cons compared to manual doors? It is a smart question, and one that more boards are asking as they evaluate lobby renovations, security upgrades, and day to day operations.
