University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning

PJ Dick provided CM at Risk services for multiple phases of classroom renovations and roof repairs at the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Phase I, completed in 2024, included the $4.4 million renovation of Classrooms 208 and 244, combining two classrooms into one larger instructional space with upgraded finishes, increased student capacity, and new ADA ramps following demolition of existing concrete slab and stair components. The scope also included 3,166 square feet of roof replacement work as part of the University’s broader multi-phase preservation plan.

Phase II, scheduled for completion in 2025, continues the modernization and preservation effort with an $8 million scope that includes renovations to six classrooms, second-floor corridor ceiling upgrades for new and future MEP systems, replacement of roof levels three and four, and installation of three new rooftop units. Together, the phases demonstrate PJ Dick’s experience delivering complex renovations and building system upgrades within a landmark academic facility while supporting long-term preservation goals.
