Description
Carnegie Mellon University is constructing a 278,000 square foot academic building at 4644 Forbes Ave on the corner of Forbes Avenue and South Craig Street. “The Mellon Hall of Sciences will house CMU's Mellon College of Science, the university's School of Computer Science and the public Institute for Contemporary Art” (Carnegie Mellon University).
Context
Construction of this building is allowing CMU to help lay the groundwork for a first ever sidewalk on Boundary street along Junction Hollow. While construction is forcing the closure of pedestrian access alongside the soutshide of the Forbes Avenue Bridge, CMU is endeavoring to complete improvements to the pedestrian experience that would include better lighting and safer sidewalks.
Status
This project is expected to be complete at the end of 2027.
