Description: The Cathedral of Learning, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an iconic 42-story Gothic Revival skyscraper that serves as the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus. Completed in 1937, it stands at 535 feet, making it the tallest educational building in the Western Hemisphere. The structure is renowned for its unique blend of academic and architectural significance, housing classrooms, libraries, and administrative offices. One of its most distinctive features is the Nationality Rooms, a collection of 31 classrooms designed to represent the cultural heritage of various ethnic groups that contributed to Pittsburgh's development. The Cathedral of Learning not only functions as a hub for academic activities but also serves as a symbol of the university's commitment to global education and cultural diversity.
