Pittsburgh, PA

As the University began its second century, all phases of the 1987 campus master plan had been built out, including a new stadium, new residence halls, the University Center, and the Purnell Center for the Arts. Yet compelling needs remained, and ASG was commissioned to develop stewardship strategies for the core campus as well as:

• A sound framework for build-out over the next 20 years and more
• Enhanced open space
• Sites for new academic, research, and residential buildings
• Well-defined entrances
• Improved parking and transportation systems.

Transforming a major thoroughfare with high-speed traffic into a safer roadway with wider sidewalks was a significant challenge. However, the overall plan meets the objectives of improving campus quality to attract and retain top students, faculty members, and staff.
