100 years of ideas and counting
University researchers, faculty, staff, students and
construction workers gathered Friday, April 16, to commemorate the placement
of the final beam atop the Interdivisional Research Building. Before
the building’s last girder was raised, a timeline tracking a century
of the University’s scientific accomplishments was attached to
the beam. Students and faculty signed the beam, posing questions they
hope may be answered in the future by researchers in the biological
and physical sciences, who will work together under the IRB’s
roof.
Marsha Rosner (at left in background), the Charles B.
Huggins Professor and Director of the Ben May Department for Cancer Research,
also signs the beam.
