Officials from the 91视频, and were on hand to celebrate the Topping Out of the new UH College of Technology building at UH Sugar Land.
The act of 鈥渢opping out鈥� a building is a construction industry practice of placing a tree on top of a new structure to indicate the last beam has been placed. The tradition can be traced to Scandinavian roots.
In March 2018, UH broke ground on the new three-story, 100,000-sq.-ft. building, which will house programs from the College of Technology, 10 state-of-the-art labs, classroom space and a sandwich shop. The building is scheduled to open its doors in fall 2019.
