Carnegie Mellon University Adds 3 Stories to the US Steel Tower - (Virtually)

One of the many great things about living in Pittsburgh is being CMU's test market, of sorts.  Pittsburgh is able to see the new gadgets, websites and even virtual buildings before the rest of the world.  The latest genius project to come out of CMU is the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) which was created to show architects, business owners and tourists all that their unused space has to offer.  Check out the link below to see CMU's website where they explain the ETC project.

The Grant Building -- Through the Ages

The Grant Building was completed in 1930 and has continued to be one of Pittsburgh's premiere buildings.  The building advertising has changed A LOT in the last 80+ years, but many elements of the building have stayed the same.  Here is an ad that ran in the Pittsburgh Press on March 4, 1930:

The Grant Building is still an outstanding structure, both efficient and beautiful, and still remains a leader among office buildings in Downtown Pittsburgh.  Rents are still reasonable and the Grant Building still houses many amenities that make it a "city within a building", to include two banks, two full-service restaurants, a salon, a private fitness center for building tenants, a sundries shop and a shoe shine.  The Grant Building also has an underground parking garage with a car detail service.  If you want to take a look at the building, you no longer can "Phone Grant 3300, or all at Room 420", we now have a much better system of communication and you can phone Grant Street Associates at 412-391-2600 or visit our website at www.gsa-cw.com.
