Defined by intentional lightness, this cable-suspended steel structure over Corporate Avenue rejects the traditional "boxed-in" skywalk. A striking central mast acts as a vertical anchor, supporting a roofless, open-air deck that prioritizes transparency. The bridge turns midway to align with the street below.

A striking steel-cable suspension system and a singular, soaring mast define this footbridge's sleek, minimal silhouette.

Design Approach

The bridge is anchored by ground-level plazas that feature a gentle incline, seamlessly extending the campus's social fabric into the air. The design utilizes a palette of steel, glass and stone.  Steel cables support the lightweight deck, ensuring a slender, open profile. The soaring central mast and support beams provide a sculptural yet efficient framework. The bridge is designed to be a "memorable landmark" day and night. Integrated lighting systems are positioned to accentuate the steel cables and singular mast, transforming the structure into a glowing silhouette against the urban skyline. This thoughtful illumination enhances visibility for commuters while highlighting the bridge's intricate structural detailing.
