With support from donors, the University of Pittsburgh and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Pitt Public Health completed a $77 million, multi-year expansion and renovation project. The most significant investment in our physical plant since the founding of the school in 1948, the “Building for a Healthier World” project funded the creation of new, state-of-the-art laboratories, academic areas and communal spaces.
