Scaife Hall West Wing Addition

The Scaife Hall West Wing Addition represents a bold and necessary move by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine to build a 100,000 ft addition and to renovate an additional 30,000 ft of existing space.  It will transform the medical school experience for students and faculty by creating state -of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, and teaching spaces that reflect and assert the School's position as one of the nation's top 10 medical schools and research institutions.  Most important, it will allow the School to compete with its peer institutions for the best medical students in the country.

Fifth and Halket - New Construction

The project constructs a 10-story building “Core and Shell” for a future use, still to be determined by the University.  The Core and Shell scope of work consists of preparing the site, constructing the structure and envelope of the building, installing the “core” building infrastructure, tying the building into the local utility services, and completing the project exterior work.  The building includes approximately 100 parking spots and consists of approximately 306,000 SF.  Core and Shell work is expected to complete in Winter of 2025.

A separate project to fit-out the building is anticipated to start before the Core and Shell building is complete.  Design for the fit-out will start once the occupant has been identified.

BioForge at Hazelwood Green

Located on 178 acres along the Monongahela River, Hazelwood Green is part of Pittsburgh’s Greater Hazelwood neighborhood.  At full build-out, the site is anticipated to comprise 4.3 million square feet of nonresidential development and 3.6 million square feet of residential development.   

The planning for University of Pittsburgh’s BioForge facility has entered a new implementation phase after the project’s recent grant award from the Mellon Foundation (RKMF) of $100 million.  Establishing BioForge in Hazelwood Green is a potentially landmark move for Pitt, ushering in a new era of University-fostered life science innovation.
