Carnegie Mellon University

Lee Lobby

Lee Lobby, commonly referred to as the Brown Chairs, serves as the grand entrance to the Cohon Center and as the new front door to Carnegie Mellon's campus. Accentuated with natural light from floor to ceiling windows, the lobby is adorned with a spectacular Dale Chihuly glass sculpture, donated by board of trustees member Ed Frank and his wife Sarah Ratchye. Lee Lobby overlooks two beautiful rain gardens which nourish indigenous plants and vegetation.
