Leaving a mark on Moore

For a few hours today, students and faculty will have a chance to leave a small imprint on the new Business Administration Building. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., a beam from the building will be on a truck parked outside the old building on College Street to be signed with permanent markers.  Students, professors and other passersby, including Gerald Simpson, a UPS driver who regularly delivers to the existing Moore School building, started to mark up the white beam Tuesday. It’ll be the last piece of the growing skeleton to be placed at a topping out ceremony at 4 p.m. Monday. After that, workers will begin enclosing the building with exterior walls and putting in systems like plumbing and electricity.
