Project Description
An Interconnected HUB
The Tepper Quad Project is an interconnected HUB for creativity, collaboration and innovation that represents Carnegie Mellon University’s future vision as:
• A place of confluence
• An ecology of active learning, research and resources
• A 3-Dimensional network of community spaces
A New Center of Campus
The Tepper School of Business moves from the edge of campus to a new center that interconnects all seven campus colleges and promotes an enhanced ecosystem of cross-campus collaboration bringing people, ideas and resources together. Transforming an existing parking lot, the site is located at the intersection of campus and city. The Quad visually connects to the historic campus core seamlessly incorporating the rich heritage, culture and traditions of the University.
