Topping off ceremony for Life Science & Technology Park
The University of Miami and developer Wexford Miami, LLC, celebrated a milestone Wednesday in the construction of the state-of-the-art, 1.6-million-square-foot UM Life Science & Technology Park with a “topping off” ceremony. At the ceremony, traditionally held when a building reaches its height, other executives signed a ceremonial steel beam for the six-story R&D Building One. The park’s first structure, the 252,000-square-foot building is expected to be completed by summer 2011. Pictured from left, Joe Reagan, vice president of Wexford Science & Technology; James Tien, dean of the College of Engineering; Michael Katz, president of MAMCO, the University’s real estate arm; Pascal J.
