The topping-off ceremony recognizes the final installation of structural steel.

Shawmut is overseeing construction of the 94,000-square-foot complex, at 130 Angell St., which eventually will anchor a campus arts district. The center, once opened, will provide multiple and flexible spaces for collaborative performances, including a main performance hall, a promenade and areas for rehearsal and performances.

The architect is Boston-based REX.

The main performance hall will be able to be reconfigured into different stage and audience experiences, from a 625-seat symphony orchestra hall to a 250-seat theater.
