One construction/dedication down, only two more to go. Finally, USD can say, “Look what we’ve done! Isn’t it grand?”

And, truth be told, the building is grand. The inside is spectacular. Hundreds of people gathered to hear President James Abbott, Sen. Tim Johnson, Dr. Ron Lindahl, Dean of the medical school and several others in Friday’s dedication ceremony. Luckily, there was plenty of balcony space on the two floors above the ground seating area.

If you missed the ceremony, there are photos below to show you what you missed. Or better yet, check out VolanteOnline.com and read Nick Woltman’s report and watch Drew Quandt’s video of the event.
