The final beam of the new Arizona State is put in place Tuesday (photo: Sun Devil Athletics).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Arizona State hosted a \u201ctopping out\u201d ceremony Tuesday to commemorate the last beam set in place on top of the new multi-purpose arena.<\/p>\n

Set to open in late 2022, the new arena will host university and community events and serve as the future home for Sun Devil men\u2019s hockey, wrestling and women\u2019s gymnastics.<\/p>\n

Located in the Novus Innovation Corridor, the arena\u2019s steel structure was topped out, completing the final placement of 1,100 tons of steel. In addition, 6,980 yards of concrete have been poured since the project broke ground earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The ceremony recognized the major construction milestone, by placing a tree and flags atop the last structural beam that was lifted into place, a custom tradition acknowledging the successful partnership and project progress to date. Having worked more than 124,892 hours since groundbreaking, without a single recordable injury, workers were recognized for their commitment to a safe project site.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multi-purpose arena will be a very important piece of the Novus Innovation Corridor \u2014 a \u2018live, work, play\u2019 community that will span more than 10 million square feet,\u201d said Morgan R. Olsen, ASU executive vice-president, treasurer and chief financial officer, in a statement. \u201cSun Devils can cheer on ASU athletes in the arena housed in this sustainable, pedestrian-friendly mixed-use development that provides community resources and economic value to the region. We\u2019re pleased that Mortenson and Oak View Group have partnered with us on this exciting arena project.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to housing Sun Devil athletics\u2019 events and competitions, the 5,000 seat multi-purpose arena, which also includes an adjacent community ice rink, will serve as a public venue for the university and community to host concerts, conferences, youth competitions, educational opportunities, and more.<\/p>\n

The arena will feature a wide variety of luxury suites, group suites, a large club lounge, along with premium seating, a 942-seat student section and more than 8,000 square feet of state-of-the-art locker rooms, weight rooms and office space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
