Mellon Financial Corporation Hall
Mellon Financial Corporation Hall, one of the nation’s premier educational facilities, is a magnificent setting for many fundamental and cutting-edge executive education programs. This state-of-the-art facility within Alumni Hall opened in February of 2000, and is situated along Oakland’s stately Fifth Avenue corridor within the area’s Cultural District. Alumni Hall, formerly the Masonic Temple, is a nine-story limestone building constructed in 1914-1915. It was acquired by the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1990s. The $16 million renovations to the structure restored the building to its original 1915 splendor while incorporating modern functions, comfort features, and safety amenities.
