Mervis Hall, Academic building at University of Pittsburgh, United States.
Mervis Hall is an academic building at the University of Pittsburgh that houses the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and the College of Business Administration. The structure contains a financial laboratory equipped with trading simulators, stock tickers, and live news feeds for analyzing market data in real time.
The building was dedicated in 1983 on the former site of Forbes Field, which was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1909 to 1970. The location carries the memory of the city's baseball past.
The third floor displays art pieces, including a lithograph by Salvador Dalí called Cosmic Athlete and photographs about business education. These works show how the place connects art and business teaching.
Visitors can explore the building to see how trading spaces and academic programs work together. It is worth spending time on the third floor to view the art collection while visiting.
Parts of the original Forbes Field remain next to the left plaza, including the old flagpole and sections of the left and center field walls. These remains stand as reminders of where great baseball moments took place.
