Commuter Fair February 21

Topping it Off!

The Student Rec Center "topping off" ceremony will take place  this Tuesday, February 5 at 2:30.

The steel beam that we had in the West Plaza will be lowered into place signifying the end of the steel framing portion of the Student Recreation Center construction. “Topping Off” ceremonies are a tradition in construction and project management areas.





President Ramsey will speak, along with several others, before the beam is lowered into place.  The beam will carry over 700 names of students, faculty and staff who signed it during it’s tenure in the West Plaza, into a place of permanence once it is lowered and welded into place. We hope you will join us for the celebration of a very significant day in our Intramural program as well as the Universities’ history. A large tent will house the ceremony as it did with the groundbreaking so don’t worry about the weather!

Part of the University of Louisville student experience is serving others. Each year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day UofL students participate by sharing their time in the community. This year it was the west Louisville neighborhood around Maupin Elementary School.

SRC Beam Signing

The final beam to be placed during construction of the new student recreation center received custom signatures outside the SAC. Students, faculty and staff signed the beam that will be placed inside the rec center to open in October of this year.
Former student OJ Oleka was in student government at the time this project began. He happened to be on campus and was thrilled to be able to sign his name on this piece of UofL history.
