A topping off ceremony is a tradition within the construction industry that marks the moment when the highest structural point in the building construction has been attained. The last steel beam is signed and hoisted into place. An evergreen tree is then placed on the beam to symbolize that the building project has proceeded well, without injury, and to serve as a good luck charm for the occupants of the building. Alumni and friends gathered together to be part of this wonderful tradition prior to the WVU-Louisville game in November.
