About Reuse-Steel

The aim of this web site is to inform the construction industry about opportunities for using steel in an environmentally responsible ways. In particular, the aim is to facilitate a web-based exchange of reusable steel construction components, and to provide information that will help break down barriers leading to greater reuse of steel.

The project was carried out by the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University with assistance from the Canadian Institute for Steel Construction.
