We did a lot of fancy little staircases for student flats at the Uni about 30 years ago. Probably been replaced by something else by now.
Didn't have fancy staircases when I was there, just a dodgy lift where occasionally the doors on floor 12 would open when the lift was at floor 13. That sobered me up pretty quick after an evening in the bar the first time it happened! Seeing your extended foot hovering over an empty lift shaft tends to have that effect.

I still shudder to think of the state of some of the hollowcore concrete planks that were sent from my old workplace to be installed in schools, blocks of flats and various other buildings.
Large areas of drag cracks on the undersides filled with grout to disguise them , units which were broken in the yard but the crack closed up when they were supported at both ends so sent to site, lorry drivers coming back from site reporting them being installed with only 15mm bearing on the walls because they had been cut too short. A couple of tons of concrete with only 15mm of it sat on a wall at each end !
Management didnt want to know and swept it under the carpet every time.
One of these days I expect to hear about a building collapse from it.
