  • Description
  • On the left is the former Pitt Stadium (1925) and immediately to its right is a cluster of about forty buildings that constitute the University of Pittsburgh Health Center, one of the world’s most concentrated medical complexes, located in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. Some of the buildings include, Children’s Hospital (1927), Presbyterian University Hospital (1930-1938), and Jones E. Salk Hall (1940, formerly the Municipal Hospital and where the Salk vaccine was developed in the early 1950s). In this small section of the campus people such as Jonas Salk, Benjamin Spock, Erik Erikson, and Thomas Starzl have practiced medicine, conducted research, and made medical advances. In the background is the Cathedral of Learning, the second tallest educational building in the world.
