A topping out ceremony was held in early August to signal the successful completion of steel framing for the College of Engineering’s $115 million Kiewit Hall, slated for a spring 2024 opening. Then on Aug. 31, a beam-signing ceremony for donors, friends and special guests of the college was held in appreciation for the outstanding support provided for this new facility, which is dedicated to undergraduate engineering education.
