University Administration and the staff of the Library System marked a milestone on Thursday, 8 September 2011: the topping-off ceremony for one of its major infrastructure projects, that is, the University’s Learning Resource Center located on a panoramic hilltop at Talamban Campus. Construction work started in November 2010.     

A topping-off ceremony is a symbolic rite that declares the structural completion of the construction of a building. The project is the realization of a dream of the USC Board of Trustees, Administrators, librarians and the entire academic community to have the University’s central library sit on its largest campus in Cebu City.  The short but meaningful ceremony was attended by Fr. President Dionisio Miranda SVD, Dr. Pericles Dakay and a number of SVDs. Dr. Marilou Tadlip, erstwhile Director of Libraries, was also present for the said occasion.
