Ordinary steel stairs are transformed with the addition of perforated risers at RIT’s NYSTAR Collaboratory. The clean lines of the flat bar guardrails with wood cap rails are complemented by the woven wire mesh infill panels. Outside, a glass bead blasted multi-line stainless steel guardrail with a shape resembling a boat hull welcomes visitors. This guardrail was a challenge to construct as the horizontals had to flow cleanly from one direction to the other.
