Today, this majestic setting houses two of the Mellon College of Science's four academic departments—biological sciences and chemistry. The Mellon Institute Library supports study and research in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics and the biological sciences. The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center also resides in Mellon Institute, providing progressive computational resources to the national community. The Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition studies cognitive processes like learning, memory, language and perception. Mellon Institute's location in the heart of the Oakland neighborhood connects it to the expansive network of scientific activity in Pittsburgh's biomedical, technological and industrial research community. |

The
building was at one time the Mellon Institute for Industrial Research,
which merged with the Carnegie Institute of Technology to form
Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Andrew Mellon, the institute's
benefactor, wanted the building to have a monumental ionic colonnade
that would embody an ageless simplicity for the practice of modern
science. Comments? Questions? |
