  • Description
  • The Acropolis plan was designed by architects Palmer and Hornbostel. Had the full plan been realized, the University of Pittsburgh's Oakland campus would have comprised 30 buildings designed in the Greco-Roman style, built all over the hill around O'Hara St. and the current location of the Peterson Events Center. Only four buildings of this plan were completed. These were Thaw Hall, Pennsylvania Hall, State Hall, and the Mineral Industries Building. The Acropolis plan would eventually be abandoned for construction of the Cathedral of Learning
