As the final beam of the Shands at UF Cancer Hospital ascended into the air with the help of a powerful crane, the hopes of those searching for a cure lifted a little, too.</p>

<p>A topping-out ceremony was held at the hospital's construction site on Southwest Archer Road at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, commemorating the final pour of the building's highest level of concrete.</p>

<p>The $388 million, 500,000-square-foot construction project is two months ahead of schedule, aiming for completion in September 2009, said Terry Bolden, senior superintendent of Skanska USA Building Inc, the construction company in charge of the project.</p>
