On Tuesday, a steel beam was raised to the top of The Assembly, a structure located at Morewood and Centre avenues on the Bloomfield/Shadyside border at the former site of the Ford Motor Co. assembly plant.
The original 250,000 square-foot building and the four-story addition will house University of Pittsburgh laboratories and offices, an event space, conference rooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and a restaurant and cafe with parking below.
