Facilities

With support from donors, the University of Pittsburgh and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Pitt Public Health completed a $77 million, multi-year expansion and renovation project. The most significant investment in our physical plant since the founding of the school in 1948, the “Building for a Healthier World” project funded the creation of new, state-of-the-art laboratories, academic areas and communal spaces.

The north elevator stops at floors 1-7, but does not go to level G.

The lab pavilion elevator stops at floors G, 2, 3, and 4; the laboratory floors (2,3,4) can only be accessed by swipe card.

Room Numbering

Four digit room numbers are used where the first digit indicates the floor number. For spaces in the lab pavilion, the second digit is zero (“#0##”), and for spaces in the main building the second digit is a one (“#1##”). Room numbers starting with the letter “A” are on the north/uphill end of the school. Example: A521 (first numerical digit after the “A” indicates the floor number).
