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.
There will be 108,000 square feet available for lease. Construction is expected to be completed by January .
A group of 305 construction workers applauded as they watched the beam being raised toward the sky in what’s called “topping out,” a ceremony that signals the uppermost steel member is going into place and that the structure has reached its height, according to the American Institute of Steel Construction.

Construction is underway on Howard Payne’s Newbury Family Welcome Center, the first new construction project at HPU in 20 years. The welcome center is a 7,800 square foot facility that will have both a modern as well as a retro look. The exterior will be brick that’s a complement between Mims Auditorium and the Walker Memorial Library, as well as a lot of glass that provides for clean access on the way in. The current timetable for completion is February 2022.
The original intent was for the construction of the facility to be further along at this point, but COVID-19 – like with most plans in the last year – played a significant role in the change.
