On 24 March 2009, members and guests toured the Ascent building in Covington, Kentucky.
The building was designed by Daniel Libeskind and is a collection of condominiums. It varies from 14 stories on one end to 22 stories on the other. The tour was conducted by a sales agent and an engineer, who are on the staff to finish construction as the condos are sold.

The sales agent described the amenities of the building in general and a finished and furnished 14th floor condo. The engineer described an unsold, unfinished condo on the 22nd floor. He described, and showed us, the outward leaning exterior walls that were used to support the imaginative shape of the building. He described the methods they had to use to site both the piping and the electrical conduits in the concrete floors since there are no straight and few vertical walls in the place from which to take real measurements.

He also described various construction procedures and problems encountered while building. He then took us to the basement where he described the electric power distribution throughout the building. He also described the water distribution system with its booster pumps to maintain pressure to the upper floors, the heating, which is primarily heat pumps, and some of the other utilities problems encountered along the way. The tour was well received by all attendees, and following it, we retired to FirstWatch for lunch.
