The directory is comprised primarily of state of Wisconsin and federal funding programs. raSmith is pleased to provide the Grants and Funding Directory for communities, non-profits, businesses and others seeking financial resources. In order to launch the Grants and Funding Database you must read and agree with the following data disclaimer. If you are a small business, a better resource for you is a database of financing and technical assistance on WEDC’s website at or the SBDC Wisconsin Business Answer Line at 80 or and Funding Database Disclaimer Non-profits may also benefit from knowledge of some of the resources based on your level of interaction with local government. RaSmith’s online grants directory contains state and federal funding resources most suited to the needs of local government units (cities, towns, villages, counties) in Wisconsin. This project received a 2019 Award for Design Excellence from the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI). The supported area is roughly three times the footprint of the actual store. However, the steel support system stretches further underground, under Michigan Avenue, existing soaring towers and even a parking structure. On the first floor, structural steel studs strengthen back-of-house support where store offices and a Genius Room are found. The building’s interior cold-formed steel system is used extensively to support stone structural framing, which includes the grand staircases and columns. Featuring the same wood, the retail store’s massive interior doors are supported with a steel-framed doorway due to their 600-pound weight. Additionally, the building’s interior wood ceiling and soffit design extend to the exterior. Grand staircases on each side of the store’s interior run alongside the exterior plaza’s concrete stairs. The Apple Michigan Avenue store design needed to create a seamless look from the inside out. Cold-formed steel framing, designed by raSmith’s engineers, was used extensively to hide and simplify the appearance (or nonappearance) of the structure throughout.Ī large portion of the cold-formed steel design dealt with interior stone and wall support, whereas a small amount involved the building’s thick glass walls. The frame itself blends carefully with the rolled edges of the roof. Only two massive steel columns work to support the roof framing. The carbon-fiber roof achieves the floating-roof look due to a hidden steel system. Two store entrances are available to consumers: one entering at the second floor on Michigan Avenue, and the other a story below, facing south and right at the riverfront. The building is two stories and looks like a glass box topped with a MacBook the roof is actually carbon fiber and includes the company’s signature logo. Apple Michigan Avenue in Chicago is a bold, modern building meant to bring technophiles together.
