Gina Bleck

  • Vice Chancellor for Planning, Design and Construction

Gina is an architect with over 30 years of experience. Beginning her career in traditional design firms, she gravitated to mission-driven projects and switched to the owner’s side with advancing responsibilities at Rutgers University. She was the University architect for over a decade at Georgetown University where she enhanced the rich tradition and spirit of place whilst improving the pedestrian experience and safety. Most recently, as a design-build manager for a national construction firm, she worked on major higher education and hospital projects, however the lure of Pitt's urban campus was irresistible. The newly created PDC department pulled her back to higher education where her passion remains in creating places for students, faculty, staff, visitors, and neighbors that are connected to the city. The opportunities to transform the physical campus to match the caliber of Pitt’s scholarship and research and draw on Pitt and Pittsburgh’s shared history is exciting, humbling, and rewarding.

Gina and PDC are up to the challenge.
