Pylons and "Sky Stations"
Bartle Hall crosses above Interstate highway I-670 suspended by steel cables supported by four 335-foot (102 m) high concrete pylons. The pylons are crowned by sculptures designed by artist R.M. Fisher, called "Sky Stations." Each aluminum installation piece is approximately 20 to 25 feet (7.6 m) tall. The pylons and sculptures are dramatically lighted at night.

Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or stations:
“Holly: Oh, Brad, I’d do my act in clown alley or the horse stop for you. I’d do anything if it was just for you.
Brad: Pigeon, look. Out under the sky you know how I feel about you. But under the Big Top one performer’s just like another to me.”
—Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)

The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
