- [00:00:00.045](upbeat music)
- [00:00:02.500]This is a building for the future so it's a big deal.
- [00:00:05.090]It's been a good partnership over the years
- [00:00:07.080]between the state of Nebraska, the legislature,
- [00:00:09.850]and the university system,
- [00:00:11.180]and I can only see that growing and getting better.
- [00:00:14.110]These facilities are well deserved
- [00:00:15.600]for a University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineering students.
- [00:00:18.510]I'm so excited to be a part of this.
- [00:00:20.490]Today, we are working with Hausmann Construction
- [00:00:22.700]and to install the last steel beam
- [00:00:24.510]on our phase one facilities project.
- [00:00:26.540]Normally, we would have a large group of people here
- [00:00:28.670]celebrating this event, but in today's environment,
- [00:00:32.030]we took our last beam on the road to get signatures
- [00:00:35.080]and had people sign via decal.
- [00:00:37.280]You can't tell because I'm wearing a mask,
- [00:00:39.480]but I'm beaming right now.
- [00:00:41.410]It's great that we've been able to have the beam at places
- [00:00:44.920]that people can sign it over the last couple of weeks.
- [00:00:49.070]And then, those who couldn't be here,
- [00:00:51.420]we've got their signatures
- [00:00:52.770]that we're going to be able to affix
- [00:00:54.210]to the beam permanently,
- [00:00:55.710]and having a way of them being part of this big day.
- [00:00:58.800]Our phase one project is rebuilding the building
- [00:01:01.630]that we call the Link
- [00:01:02.850]and renovating the majority of the Scott Engineering Center.
- [00:01:05.596](drilling)
- [00:01:07.190]Private donors are really stepping up
- [00:01:08.920]and making phase two planning a reality.
- [00:01:11.550]We're excited to get to this point in phase one,
- [00:01:14.010]as we finish up fundraising for phase two, yet to come.
- [00:01:17.240]Big day with this being the beam
- [00:01:18.930]that's gonna top out phase one of the renovation
- [00:01:21.900]of the Walter Scott Engineering Center.
- [00:01:24.540]It's an honor to be a part of a project like this,
- [00:01:27.210]which is where I went to school
- [00:01:29.530]and graduated from construction management.
- [00:01:31.241]Go Big Red!
- [00:01:33.010]This represents a major milestone
- [00:01:35.010]in transforming the College of Engineering.
- [00:01:37.210]It is the first major investment
- [00:01:38.760]into the College of Engineering facilities
- [00:01:40.850]in nearly 50 years.
- [00:01:42.590]So the beam's gonna get hoisted today.
- [00:01:44.610]It's a big day for the University of Nebraska
- [00:01:47.050]and for our College of Engineering.
- [00:01:48.500]This building is really the physical manifestation
- [00:01:51.900]of the investment and the commitment
- [00:01:53.410]that this community really has for us as students.
- [00:01:56.410]In this new lab,
- [00:01:57.400]we will have all the right facilities to continue to strive
- [00:02:01.790]for excellence in research, teaching, and learning.
- [00:02:04.790]Now this facility represents a lot of trust
- [00:02:07.200]in the taxpayers of Nebraska, and the donors,
- [00:02:10.160]and we have a great opportunity to push the engineering,
- [00:02:13.460]science, technology forward
- [00:02:15.440]and just hope to do our best with this trust.
