The recently completed University of Pittsburgh, Central Utility Building (CUB) is the recipient of two industry awards:
- Engineering News-Record’s MidAtlantic, Best Projects Award
- March of Dimes Pittsburgh, Transportation, Building & Construction Awards, Infrastructure Project of the Year
The CUB was the first major project undertaken as part of Pitt’s billion-dollar capital plan. It was an enabling project for the earliest components of that capital plan, which included new athletic facilities on what is being called Victory Heights.
The goal of this project was to create redundancy, so that the campus was not relying on a single utility plant. Existing infrastructure on the upper campus was operating at capacity and additional capacity was needed to be able to support future growth.

We are proud to have served as the Consulting Architect for the project alongside team members Burns & McDonnell, Mosites Construction and Development Company, and Turner Construction Company.
