Dannielle Brown, the mother of a Duquesne University student who plummeted to his death from a dorm room window, has settled her claims against the university, according to a statement from her attorneys and the university.
Marquis Jaylen ‘JB’ Brown had just turned 21 when, after an evening at a friend’s off-campus apartment in October 2018, he began acting erratically back at his dorm, Brottier Hall, officials said. Campus security responded, and the chain of events ended when they said Brown picked up a chair, broke a window and jumped from the 16th-floor window.
Duquesne University building $53.6 million College of Osteopathic Medicine
Duquesne University wants to demolish the Life’s Work building on its Uptown campus this summer to begin building its College of Osteopathic Medicine next spring.
On January 12, the university got approval from the Pittsburgh Planning Commission for the demolition of the building at 1323 Forbes Ave., which it acquired in 2019 for the land. Once the new building is constructed, its investment in the site will exceed $53.6 million.
In their presentation to the Planning Commission yesterday, the university said that demolition of the Life’s Work building work would begin in June. Crews have been doing interior abatement for several months. Construction of the new building would start in March 2022. SLAM Collaborative is designing the building in collaboration with WTW Architects.
