The Cathedral of Learning, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an iconic 42-story skyscraper that serves as the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus. Standing at 535 feet, it is the tallest educational building in the Western Hemisphere and the second-tallest university building in the world. Designed in the Gothic Revival style by architect Charles Klauder and completed in 1937, this historic structure houses classrooms, administrative offices, and cultural rooms known as the Nationality Rooms, which celebrate the cultural diversity of Pittsburgh.
