Formerly dispersed in 18 separate locations, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s 7,100 employees are now consolidated in a spectacular new campus on the Eisenhower Corridor in Alexandria. Forms+Surfaces provided more than 5,000 lineal feet of custom stainless steel railing for the complex’s most prominent public areas including the main entrance, central atrium, stairways and pedestrian walks.

Minimalist in form, the railing starts with narrow-profile posts laser-cut from stainless steel plate. ADA compliant handrail is formed from welded stainless steel tubing, while half-inch tempered glass serves as infill. The overall effect is one of openness and clarity, befitting an agency devoted to rigorous research and the assimilation of new technologies. With its timeless design and long life-cycle materials, Forms+Surfaces’ custom railing will be on hand to help further the PTO’s mission for many generations to come.
