The University of Pittsburgh's Board of Trustees approved the $56 million Alan Magee Scaife Hall East Addition and Renovation at 3550 Terrace St in Oakland on September 25, 2026. The project adds approximately 11,500 square feet to the east side of the School of Medicine building to accommodate upgraded building systems. A building permit valued at $37,356,726 has been issued for commercial alteration work at the address.

Repairs will address water infiltration and deterioration at the De Soto Street entrance and plaza. The scope also includes electrical infrastructure replacement, roofing improvements, HVAC and exhaust upgrades, and related site and streetscape work. The building will remain operational during construction.

The project follows the 110,000-square-foot West Wing addition and renovation completed in 2023, which achieved LEED Gold in 2026. Payette & MCF Architecture designed that work and PJ Dick built it.
