Clapp/Langley/Crawford Complex

The Clapp-Langley-Crawford halls complex (often referred to as CLC), comprises three inter-connected buildings (Clapp, Langley, and Crawford Halls) and the Life Science Annex that house the Department of Biological Science and the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

George Hubbard Clapp Hall is a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District.

[1][2] The six-story Gothic Revival structure, designed by Trautwein & Howard,[1] was completed in 1956 and serves as the primary facility of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Biological Sciences.

[8] In addition, renovation plans were announced that include the installation of a biosafety level-3 facility that incorporates what are perhaps first in the nation features, such an observation room and monitoring cameras, to facilitate undergraduate learning.

Indiana limestone cladding panels were utilized to approximate as closely as possible the exterior appearance of the adjacent buildings in the CLC complex.
