Building the University of Tomorrow, Today

Carnegie Mellon is always striving to provide the resources that are necessary for its innovative teaching and research. While we have made many significant improvements, the university must continue these efforts in order to compete with its peers.

Fields such as nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, computer science, the arts, business and humanities all require state-of-the-art facilities, while enhanced spaces for social activities and athletics help attract and retain the best and brightest talent.

Your support of these initiatives allows Carnegie Mellon to continue making major contributions to society, as well as become an even stronger competitor for major research grants, excellent faculty and top students.

Carnegie Mellon’s original campus design is said to have been modeled after a ship by the campus’s initial architect Henry Hornbostel. An actual ship's prow taken from the historic cruiser, the USS Pennsylvania, rests atop Roberts Hall, which overlooks Panther Hollow and the Carnegie Museum complex.
