Allegheny General Hospital is getting a facelift.
The North Shore hospital's 90-year-old 22-story South Tower, made famous nationally on “The PITT”, is slated to begin a four-year, $36 million renovation in June.
It'll include an overhaul of the facade's masonry, replacement of more than 800 windows and the repair and replacement of 60,000 square feet of roof.
AHN leaders say the focus is the project will be to extend the life of the building and maintain its original architectural beauty.
“Over the past century, AGH has served as a beacon of hope and healing for millions of patients, not just from Pittsburgh and its surrounding regions, but from across the country and around the world,” said Imran Qadeer, MD, president, AGH. “This project is critical to ensuring the hospital’s South Tower remains a cornerstone of our clinical campus and home to many offices and clinics that support our exceptional caregivers and help us deliver remarkable health experiences to those who receive our services.”
The work being conducted by Mascaro Construction is expected to be completed in 2030.
