College of Engineering Dean, Arvind Raman

The dedication ceremony for Dudley and Lambertus halls took place in the Construction Management Technology Lab. Speakers included University President Mung Chiang, Former President Mitch Daniels and the Dean of Engineering, Arvind Raman. 

The event concluded with a large decorative gold ball being lowered to the stage via crane. Instead of a traditional ribbon cutting, the gold ball was then "smashed" into the digital backdrop. 

After the ceremony guests were able to tour the facility and witness demonstrations of various lab capabilities, including interdisciplinary work between Industrial Engineering and the School of Civil Engineering, as pictured here.
