La Forteresse - staircase

Finally got a picture of two of the staircase along with the construction crew to share.  So here they are.


We have removed the forms at the end of this week and cleaned up the resulting pile of 2x4's etc. I've posted pics of the final results below - they are awesome.  We had two engineers from Canada inspect the building today.  They were impressed with the overall quality of the building and remarked on the fantastic design/layout and the awesome attention grabbing landmark feature staircase. 

Decided to post only the results here with other pics in an album on facebook.  Here is the link on facebook - warning though - you have to be my friend or know someone in order to get at them.  Pretty tall order if you know the people that I hang out with on facebook,

Poke me on facebook, call me, or something of you'd like higher resolution copies.  We have a slow network, so I've reduced the size of the images in order to upload a little easier and a little quicker.
 
The first picture is from the inside hallway looking towards the tower at the North end of the building.  Awesome.  A great pour.  A little finishing work to be done. 


From the top looking down.  You can also see the top part of the staircase from the basement to the first floor - also built by our CPC team from Elora/Fergus.





And looking at the tower from the outside.  I just love the way the staircase crosses over the windows.
