The Belle II experiment is an upgrade of the Belle experiment that will run at an instantaneous luminosity forty times higher than its predecessor, and is projected to record 50 ab-1 of data. Running at this luminosity requires many changes, including the installation of new sub-detectors. The status of the construction and testing of Belle II will be described, with a focus on the new time-of-propagation (TOP) sub-detector used for particle identification, together with the motivation, prospects, and schedule for the experiment.
