Plans that Guide Us
Our Campus Master Plan is a living document that will be refreshed with broad input, guided by input from faculty, students and staff along with community members. The plan will capitalize on Pitt's setting in a booming tech and innovation city and its close proximity to a world-class medical center.
The Institutional Master Plan (IMP) is a legal document required every ten years to the City of Pittsburgh, detailing the University’s commitment to city regulations. The IMP provides details related to City of Pittsburgh regulations, including building height and mass, parking, urban design and neighborhood compatibility.
