About the Cathedral of Learning
The Cathedral of Learning, a 42-story skyscraper, anchors the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in Oakland, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Rising 163 m (535 ft), it is a Late Gothic Revival tower and holds the title of the tallest educational building anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. Only Moscow State University's main building is a taller university building.
The university commissioned the tower in 1921; construction began in 1926 with Stone & Webster as general contractor. The first class met there in 1931, the exterior was finished in October 1934 and the building was formally dedicated in June 1937. Its steel frame carries Indiana limestone cladding, and there are over 2,000 rooms and windows inside.
Students call it "Cathy." It serves as a classroom and administrative center and houses Pitt's Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences along with the School of Social Work and the Frederick Honors College, plus 31 Nationality Rooms and a four-story Gothic study and event hall. The National Register of Historic Places includes it.
