Construct, SCRA Applied R&D’s architectural structures affiliate, won a competitive contract to build a 42-foot recycled carbon fiber composite “orb” staircase enclosure for Lawrence Technological University.
The structure will be an all-composite, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 285-certified staircase enclosure, which is supported from the side and hangs over a reflection pool.
Construct will be working with DeMaria, the general contractor for the project in Southfield, Mich.
“We are delighted to bring our expertise in composite structures to this exciting project,” said SCRA vice president and Construct general manager David Humphries. “The opportunity to offer our unique advanced materials proficiency using recycled carbon fiber will help bring this distinctive design to life and will be a beautiful focal point for the building.”
