The new UPMC Presbyterian Hospital

The University of Pittsburgh Athletics Center

The University of Pittsburgh Victory Center and Arena

The Athletics Center and the Victory Center/ Arena is built into the hillside and will provide access points along the way. All three building will be interconnected with green roofs with natural and urban landscaped walkways. The slope is intense and the walk is rough. This will improve connectivity between the lower and upper campus.

The steel framing is rising. This project will start taking shape soon!

I can't access CTBUH's full list of Pittsburgh buildings. At 288 ft, will it make the city's top 40?

Permitting problem halts part of UPMC Presbyterian hospital tower construction

Below is a photo I took on June 30th. Wow, almost two more floors since wpipkins2's June 13th photo!

I did not expect this project to be this massive.

So I assume construction resumed since it was halted due to the permitting?

^ According to the June 21 article:

The stoppage to work, Montaño said, is “limited in nature”...The project did have the proper building permits, she said, so that portion of the work is moving ahead uninterrupted.

Agreed. I was awed by its sheer size.
