We have the pleasure today of topping out.
And having that signed beam up on top of what will become Kiewit Hall.
It is the largest academic project in the history of the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, with the enabling of a lot of province support.
We really want this to be the home of engineering for the entire Midwest.
That's what we have an opportunity to do.
I'm so excited about this.
This is about the growth of not only our university, it's about the growth of
engineering STEM field in the Midwest, and quite honestly, across our entire
nation.
And thanks to all of you for coming today to celebrate this really important
milestone in the College of Engineering.
When this building is done, it will be a world class College of Engineering.
You know, we have a long history as a Nebraska-based company.
And we have a responsibility to make sure that we make our state and
institutions like the University of Nebraska better and stronger for the years
to come.
Kind of makes me want to come back to school and get a masters that 60 years old.
It really just sort of hits home why we're doing this.
You know, creating an opportunity here to educate the future engineers and to
grow the workforce that Kiewit and so many of our other corporate partners need
and want for the good future of this great state.
A facility like Kiewit Hall will grant every engineering student the ability to
learn as much as possible, to achieve their full potential and to grow into a
top notch engineer.
It is inevitable that the world will be changed for the better by Nebraska engineers.
Thank you, Gracie, and we look forward to seeing you in that building.
