PPG Place is a complex in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, consisting of six buildings within three city blocks and five and a half acres.

Designed in the neogothic style but with modern innovations, the complex had many inspirations, including London's Victoria Tower,[7] and H.H.

Richardson's Allegheny County Courthouse and Charles Klauder's Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh.

[8] Before the building was constructed, an 8-foot-tall, 600 pound model was made, with glass cut at the Ford City PPG works.

[9] During demolition and preparation of the site, a team of University of Pittsburgh anthropologists collected over 10,000 artifacts dating to the 18th century in what was the Kings Garden and Kings Orchard about 1,000 feet from the gate to Fort Pitt, as well as many medical instruments denoting facilities in the area.

Also notable are the surfaces of reflective insulating glass, that served to advertise the project's founder.

The buildings contain over one million square feet of PPG's Solarban 550 Twindow - 19,750 pieces.

The complex consists of six buildings, which surround an open-air plaza:[14] One PPG Place includes the Wintergarden, an 8,000 square feet (740 m2) event space with vaulted glass ceilings.

PPG Place is directly adjacent to Market Square, creating a large and popular public space in downtown Pittsburgh.

[21][22] Upon completion of the project, architectural critics and the media called PPG Place "the crown jewel in Pittsburgh's skyline," "the towering success of downtown Pittsburgh," and "one of the most ambitious, sensitive and public spirited urban developments since Rockefeller Center.
