Brasco Awards Student Scholarship to Bike Shelter Design Contest Winners

Detroit, MI, September 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Brasco International announces its 2015 Student Design Contest Winners. The contest invited college students to submit innovative architectural streetscape designs of a bus shelter, bike shelter, parklet, or combination thereof.

Brasco launched the Student Design Contest at the 2014 ASLA show in Denver to a great response. The winners, trio Chelsea Grinwis, Nathaniel Skutt and Brandon Kloostra from Ferris State University were selected among many entries.

Scoring was based on a scale of 0 to 100 with the following criteria and weight:
1. Originality (30 pts)
2. Functionality (40 pts)
3. Engineering Application (20 pts)
4. Accessories (10 pts)

While each submission was innovative, Brasco’s Studio B Design team gave the highest overall scores to the winning trio’s hybrid bus/bike shelter for its optimal usage of space and off-the-grid functionality. In addition to the scholarship, the winners’ design will receive a professionally adapted engineered rendering and a showcase on Brasco’s Studio B Designs webpage.
