Pitt Public Health building

Pitt Public Health Building is a nine-story structure at the University of Pittsburgh housing classrooms, research laboratories, administrative offices, and collaborative workspaces for various public health departments. Inside, specialized areas include the Lab Pavilion with restricted access, student study rooms, conference spaces, and a ground-floor cafe.

The building was originally created to house the university's graduate public health program and has served as a hub for education and research ever since. A comprehensive renovation modernized the infrastructure and expanded capabilities for teaching and research activities.

A large bronze and steel sculpture titled 'Man' by artist Virgil Cantini stands prominently at the building's entrance. The artwork reflects the institution's commitment to advancing public health on a global scale.

The building is accessible to visitors during weekdays through main entrances, though some areas like research labs require identification credentials. Plan to spend time in the lobby or cafe if you are not attending classes or seminars.

The building distributes different departments across multiple floors, with Biostatistics, Behavioral Sciences, and Epidemiology each occupying their own sections. This vertical organization enables close collaboration between the different disciplines within a compact footprint.
