Clapp Hall, Biology building at University of Pittsburgh, United States.
Clapp Hall is a six-story building in Gothic Revival style with a textured limestone exterior at the University of Pittsburgh. It houses biology laboratories, classrooms, and a greenhouse facility for research and teaching in the life sciences.
The building was constructed in 1956 and initially served introductory chemistry courses before becoming home to biological sciences. Its construction reflected Pittsburgh's growth as a research center during the postwar years.
Clapp Hall centralizes the Department of Biological Sciences, providing research facilities and a 404-seat amphitheater for academic presentations.
The building connects with nearby structures to form an integrated science complex with modern research facilities. It sits centrally on campus and is easily accessible for visitors navigating the university.
The main entrance is positioned diagonally and aligns directly with the Cathedral of Learning. This creates an intentional architectural connection between two prominent campus buildings.
