Located at the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Craig Street across from the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, our new ICA Pittsburgh will be a marquee element of the university’s Richard King Mellon Hall of Sciences—an expansive new building complex by ZGF Architects designed to foster collaboration across the arts, sciences and technology. Conceived as a two-part structure, with a loop and a tower, the building will feature the ICA and other public spaces including a restaurant in the loop, while the tower will house academic and research facilities for the Mellon College of Science and the School of Computer Science.
Our 30,000-square-foot facility will triple our previous space and feature four flexible galleries and programmatic spaces, inviting cross-disciplinary inquiry and community engagement. This vision is made possible by extraordinary support, anchored by a significant leadership grant of $15 million from the Juliet Lea Hillman Simonds Foundation and the Henry L. Hillman Foundation.
