Submission #6646998
Project Information
Submission NameUniversity of Pittsburgh Scaife Hall Addition
Project Intent StatementThe West Wing Addition was designed to redefine the university’s educational landscape, merging state-of-the-art design with a commitment to sustainability, to create a vibrant campus entry, fostering collaboration through dynamic student spaces, with spacious classrooms and advanced laboratories that would enhance the learning experience for all. The addition required the integration of essential utilities—air, power, chilled water, and emergency systems— to extend the building’s lifespan by 68 years, and a design to maintain a modern aesthetic with an elegantly curved two-story roof to house critical infrastructure. In stark contrast to the limestone of old Scaife Hall, this addition with a glass façade invites abundant daylight, creating an open, inviting atmosphere and thoughtfully designed aluminum sunshades echo the proportions of the original structure, providing comfort while enhancing visual connection.
