The American Institute of Architects WPA Chapter recently recognized the newly completed addition at Alan Magee Scaife Hall, designed by MCF Architecture, at the 2024 Design Pittsburgh Awards. The addition won an Honor Award in the “Large” category, and was noted by the jury as being a “Provocative addition and upgrade to an aging mid-century education building. The building design not only provides a platform for active learning, but activates the surrounding area with its rich facade, massing, and transparency that showcases the vibrant uses within.”
The updated design highlights sustainability and collaboration in the bustling student spaces of the building occupied by the School of Medicine.
