Celebrations mark Plaza West Tower topping out

Sent on behalf of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

The recent Campus Renewal topping out of the Plaza West Tower at BJH was a construction milestone worth celebrating. Tradesmen and women, team members and physicians, and BJC and WUSM leadership signed the final steel beam, adorned with a U.S. flag and an evergreen tree, and watched the tower crane lift it 300 feet in the air and over the top of the tower.

This video captures some of the highlights of the festivities and the topping out, a symbolic gesture acknowledging the construction team’s hard work, dedication, and skill.
