Institute For Orthopaedic Surgery

Institute For Orthopaedic Surgery (IOS), in Lima, Ohio, expanded their footprint recently with an addition. Dancer Concrete Design’s CAST Team poured and polished 26 terrazzo structural steps and a landing for the front lobby of IOS. The epoxy terrazzo stair treads are 8 feet long, 12 inches deep, and 3 inches thick, with a 12° nosing angle. Each tread has embedded steel reinforcement and two black urethane nosing strips across the top. A custom mix of marble chips, recycled glass, and broken mirror was chosen for the project. Once cast, the treads were polished to an interior step finish.
