people

The Steel Centre is a community of experts in steel design, construction, fabrication, and materials science. Steel Centre faculty members serve on CSA Standards committees and have published extensively in the field. The community also extends far beyond the university to include steel fabrication and erection experts and top-tier design consultants.
