A staircase is the heart of an office building lobby. In the eyes of the jurors, the architects of this large industrial building have gone a long way to resuscitate this often neglected building detail. Four steel columns support the stair. From these columns, steel plate outriggers support the landings. Bolted to the folded steel plate treads and risers, cast aluminum floor panels provide a durable walking surface. Not only does the stair serve its function, providing access to the corporate offices, exercise room, training facility and cafeteria, it has a sculpture-like presence. Unlike others they had seen recently, the jurors felt this staircase was "very successful as an object in the space and as it relates to the building's other details."
