DESCRIPTION

From the Pedestrian Bridge Dedication ceremony: “The T. Evans Wyckoff Memorial Bridge connects the Museum‘s main campus on the east side of East Marginal Way to its west campus, which includes the Library and Archives Building, Airpark and parking lots” Completed in 2008, “The bridge’s dynamic shape is inspired from the metaphor of the contrail, a stream of crystallized vapor created in a plane’s wake. The metaphor is carried out in the bridge’s unusual tube truss design, made of crossing circular steel pipe sections surrounding an inner glass enclosure. Colored LED lighting within the structure enhances the visual experience.” Lacey Glass worked with both the owners and architects to design the curtain-wall system in which no two pieces of glass are the same. The polycarbonate roof fully covers the structure so that visitors can move between Museum buildings ( and other Lacey Glass projects on the grounds) without fear of the Northwest weather.
