Beam Me Up, Scotty

The construction of the new addition at work is moving right along. We're in the midst of cement trucks, cranes, semis, beams, and lots and lots of steel. You don't walk outside without looking up to make sure a big piece of something heavy isn't about to drop on your head...it feels that way anyway. The construction crew set up one of the primary beams outside for all the students, faculty, and staff to sign if we wanted. Short messages were allowed. Some people just signed their name. Some people wrote something profound. I just decided to go with something snarky.


The topping out ceremony will be sometime next week, which I believe is when the beam will be placed to signify the end of that phase of the construction. It's neat to be able to leave our mark like that. The new addition will eventually be the new home of the National Center for Rural Health.
