Vikings Celebrate Steel Topping Off At Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center

Eden Prairie, MN (May 11, 2017) – The Minnesota Vikings, Crawford Architects, Kraus Anderson and Twin Cities Orthopedics celebrated a major construction milestone on the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center as the last piece of structural steel was installed yesterday.

To commemorate the steel “topping off,” construction crews hoisted the final piece of steel, which was recently painted white and signed by Vikings staff and construction workers, into position along with the traditional evergreen tree and American flag.

More than 1,300 tons of steel were installed in the headquarters while 2,200 tons were used for the Vikings indoor practice facility (IPF).
