A crowd of several hundred administrators, employees, construction workers and community members watched during a Dec. 11 Topping Off Ceremony as the ceremonial final steel beam was put in place on top of the future Medical Center tower at Loma Linda University Health.
Illuminated with hundreds of colorful signatures added by employees Dec. 6 and 7, the beam was lifted and lowered into place by a crane to become part of the tower’s helipad ramp. The beam was also traditionally adorned with an evergreen tree on one side and the American flag on the other.
