Multi faceted Architectural Metal Features using stainless steel and carbon steel.
These unique and custom metal features were fabricated for a research building at the University of Arizona. This project consists of various and extraordinary architectural components constructed with varied materials and finishes. Internally the science labs hanging shelves required exacting construction with strength and safety a high priority. Using both steel and aluminum components, these hanging units have a durable powder coat finish. Externally you will find three other unique and separate metal features. Sleek aluminum guardrails located on the 2nd thru 6th floor balconies are also powder coated insuring a weather resistant finish for many years. One identifiable popular building feature that the University of Arizona uses is a rusted steel exterior as seen in these photos.
