Description
The Learning Research Development Center(LRDC) received a $5.6 million grant from the U.S. Office of Education in 1969, to be used for the construction of a $7 million dollar building. The LRDC had been founded in 1964 as an education research center. The eight story tall building that houses the center was designed by the architectural firm of Harrison and Abramovitz. The building is an example of modern architecture as it slopes against the hillside at a forty-five degree angle. The building contains offices, experimental classrooms, teaching labs, demonstration areas, and a lecture area. The LRDC building is one of the more striking buildings that the University of Pittsburgh owns.
