University of Pittsburgh — Salk Hall Addition


University of Pittsburgh — Salk Hall Addition

Salk Hall, built in 1941, originally housed the Pittsburgh Municipal Hospital before being acquired by the University of Pittsburgh in 1957. The University constructed an 80,000 SF research tower addition in the parking area behind the original structure to house laboratories and support space. In addition to the 4-story building, site improvements now include parking, walks, and stormwater management.

The following services were provided for the project:

  • Site grading and layout.
  • Storm sewer layout and design.
  • Stormwater management analysis.
  • Utility layout.
  • Erosion & Sedimentation control plan.
  • NPDES permitting.
  • Structural design of retaining wall.
