The ABCs of skyway floor treatments


Terrazo. This is the original skyway floor, unchanged since 1962. Does it remind you of your high school? It should.


Dogfood colored carpet. A statistical average of every pattern and color ever used in commercial carpets.


Bauhaus-inspired industrial weave. Weakly inspired. But it is strong enough to let you test your new trifocals for peripheral distortion effects. I like it so there.

Great post. I’ve often thought that the carpet in the skyway crossing 6th street (between U.S. Bank plaza and the Capella tower), looks quite similar to the Steel Wheels album cover that the Rolling Stones put out.
