Statue Donated to Christian Brothers University
The new steel sculpture on the campus at Christian Brothers University is not only a new piece of campus art but a teaching tool for engineering professors and their students.
The sculpture was presented to CBU by Providential Fabricators, Inc. of Memphis and designed by the American Institute of Steel Construction, which has made them available to colleges and universities with engineering programs. Only four campuses in Tennessee have the piece.
Students get a true visual understanding of steel framing and steel connections from the sculptures, now installed at 122 colleges and universities across the United States. These steel sculptures are valuable teaching aids that show the many methods of steel framing and their corresponding connections. The piece shows various types of connections found in buildings, bridges and other structures.
The original steel sculpture was desigzned in 1986 by Professor Duane Ellifritt, Ph.D., P.E., at the University of Florida.
