On September 13, MCLA held a commemorative "Topping Off" ceremony to mark the last piece of steel being raised into the frame of the Center for Science and Innovation.

The ceremony was a time to recognize all who had a stake in the development of the Center.

Those in attendance included legislators, faculty, staff, students, members of the Board of Trustees, business leaders and many more. Friends and partners had an opportunity to sign their name to the final beam before it was hoisted.
