Parran Hall

The bronze and steel sculpture hanging high atop Parran Hall's facade, "Man" by Virgil Cantini, symbolizes the human quest for knowledge, with special reference to international research in the health fields.

The dynamic composition shows an outstretched, skeletal figure in bronze surrounded by upward-moving, randomly placed peaks of varying sizes.

[11][12] Crabtree Hall is an annex to the north end of the Pitt's Public Health Building, adjacent to O'Hara Street.

It was designed by the architectural firm of Deeter, Ritchey, and Sippel[13] and completed in 1969 and dedicated to James A. Crabtree, head of the school's then Department of Public Health Practice and later its dean from 1958 until 1966.

[15] A 57,000-square-foot (5,300 m2), five-story addition was built in the location of the original auditorium of Parran Hall in order to expand the research facilities of the Graduate School of Public Health.

The project was completed in January, 2018, updating approximately 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m2) of the main public health building as well as portions of Crabtree Hall.
