Lakehead University
Steel Bridge Team
Where Innovation Meets Steel
We are a passionate team of civil engineering students representing Lakehead University at the 2026 Student Steel Bridge Competition hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) in collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Our mission is to merge technical knowledge with creativity to design and assemble a practical steel bridge that exemplifies strength, and innovation.
Through collaboration, and a commitment to excellence, we strive to push the boundaries of structural engineering while fostering teamwork and professional growth. Each member plays a vital role from concept and analysis to design and construction, as we work together to bring our bridge from blueprint to reality.
"Our mission is to forge the next generation of innovators, students who transform theory into creation, challenges into solutions, and ideas into bridges that unite knowledge, skill, and purpose.”
