A permanent art installation known as “The Key” was recently unveiled on the campus of Lawrence Technological University at the northwest corner of 10 Mile and Northwestern Highway. The carbon steel and hand-cast glass sculpture was created by Michigan artists Erik and Israel Nordin of the Detroit Design Center in Midtown Detroit and sponsored by the Southfield City Centre. Standing 14 feet high and weighing several thousand pounds, the piece is inspired by a topographical map of the city. Its overall shape further symbolizes a skeleton key and blends art deco and brutalist styles.
