We’re still smiling from ribbon cutting day, and we couldn’t wait to share it with you. Here are a few of our favorite moments in photos, plus a first look at the video we’ve been putting together, with much more to come. Seeing these images, seeing the marquee lit, seeing the doors open, and seeing your joyful faces, it’s a reminder of just how far this building, and our neighborhood, have come.
Preservation is powerful. What many still see as vacant buildings often hold tremendous promise.
Thank you to Hill District residents who have championed this building’s revitalization from the very start, to the University of Pittsburgh as an anchor tenant and strategic partner, and to our funders.
Respect and honor to Louis A.S. Bellinger, the Colored Knights of Pythias; and to the many legends of the past, and those yet to come. We aspire to honor each of you brick by brick as we rebuild the Hill District.
