Site 10A | Frick Fine Arts Expansion

The existing Frick Fine Arts building suffers from overcrowding and insufficient studio space for the Department of Studio Arts, History of Art and Architecture, and University Arts Gallery. An addition to the studio, located to the south of the existing building, will provide additional office space, improve daylight for studio spaces, and make space available in the original building for a more spacious presentation of the University’s permanent art collection. Though the Frick Fine Arts building is considered part of the Pitt campus and is occupied by the University, the building is situated on City-owned land and is not presently zoned as EMI.

This development site was previously listed as E.7 in the 2008 IMP with possible uses listed as academic, research, auxiliary, and parking.
