Benedum Hall, Brutalist academic building at University of Pittsburgh, United States
The fifteen-story Benedum Hall spans 419,000 square feet and contains engineering classrooms, laboratories, conference spaces, and the George M. Bevier Engineering Library.
Constructed in 1971 by Deeter, Ritchey, and Sippel architects for $15 million, Benedum Hall replaced the National Guard's Logan Armory on its 1.8-acre site.
The Pennsylvania Society American Institute of Architects recognized Benedum Hall with an Honor Award for its contribution to brutalist architecture.
A $150 million renovation in 2017 modernized the educational facilities with updated classrooms, laboratories, and energy-efficient systems for engineering students.
The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation, added during renovations, earned the International Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute Design Award in 2012.
