Sorrell Center topping out today at 1:30 p.m.

Employees and students will have a last chance to sign the Sorrell Center’s final beam today before a 1:30 p.m. ceremony to commemorate the beam’s placement.

The topping out ceremony for the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education will be held today at 1:30 p.m.

The ceremony — which was postponed Wednesday because of inclement weather — will be held on the top level of parking garage 4 on the southeast corner of 42nd and Emile streets.

UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D., and Dr. Sorrell will make brief remarks before the building’s final beam is set in place by construction personnel.

Refreshments will be available at the ceremony and employees and students will have a final opportunity to sign the last beam before the ceremony starts.
