Pitt officials presented an application for Pitt’s new Institutional Master Plan to members of Pittsburgh City Council at a public hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Pitt’s institutional master plan, which will guide University construction for the next 10 to 25 years, officially began the City Planning Commission’s formal approval process Tuesday.
