The building’s signature cupola, which was prefabricated in Utah, required extensive coordination. The cupola had to be delivered during the university’s spring break, when road closures and large equipment did not interfere with campus activities. After delivery, premanufactured components were assembled on an adjacent street and lifted to the roof in large sections.

The Massey Center was built on top of a preexisting active underground parking garage, which required extra safety precautions. To install the elevator shaft, the team cut the shaft opening in the floor of each level of the garage and built an enclosure with locks to prevent accidents. The project was delivered on time in August 2023 and on budget with no lost-time accidents or recordable incidents.
