Thaw Hall, Academic building at University of Pittsburgh, United States
Thaw Hall displays five stories of stone, brick, and terra cotta construction with classical motifs derived from Greek architectural design at the university campus.
Architect Henry Hornbostel won a national competition in 1907 to design this building, which opened its doors to students in 1910.
The structure houses multiple academic departments including Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, Asian Languages, and Archaeology within its educational spaces.
The Physics department maintains a dedicated Resource Room, while the Architectural Studies Program operates a specialized laboratory within the building.
The building contains an unconventional floor numbering system, featuring both a sub-basement and mezzanine level positioned entirely above ground.
