Safe openings at Shanghai BOC Financial Center
The Bank of China (BOC) Financial Center, consisting of two 200-meter-high twin towers, rises on an island at Dishui Lake, forming a distinctive presence in the area. And ASSA ABLOY contributes to its daily operation with solutions that enable safe, efficient access across the building.
The project was originally conceived in 1992 by the renowned Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei. Known for works such as the Louvre Pyramid in Paris and the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, Kong and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Pei was recognized for his bold and geometric approach to design. The concept has since been developed and realized by his son Sandi Pei’s team, bringing the original vision to completion.
Our products
Our Opening Solutions China team supplied over 2,000 fire-rated doors in standard size as well as super large and extra-large models.
The project began in 2021 and spanned five years. From the start, the team built a close partnership with PEI Architects Firm to align key design details and ensure smooth implementation. As the work moved forward, they worked closely with the owner and the main contractor to finalize fire door styles, confirm color choices, and improve construction drawings. At the same time, steady production and delivery helped keep the project on schedule.
