"Topping Off" ceremony held at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center for new Nursing Home Facility |
29 October, 2007 - This week, Barr & Barr and the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center held a "Topping Off" ceremony for the new Nursing Home Facility. The occasion marks an important and visible milestone to Jamacia Hospital Medical Center's campus expansion scheduled to open by the end of 2008.
"Topping off" is an industry tradition that marks the moment when the uppermost steel beam is put in place, signifying the completion of the building’s main structure. To celebrate this event, the last steel beam is signed and hoisted into place by the project team. Traditionally, an evergreen tree and the American flag are placed on the beam as it is lowered on to the building. The evergreen symbolizes the growth and strength of the building and celebrates that the project has proceeded well and without injury.
