The Creation of the Tepper Quad: From Pipedream to Pipes

After six additions over a 50-year lifespan, Carnegie Mellon University finally had to admit its Tepper School of Business - formerly the Graduate School of Industrial Administration - had no more room to grow on its original site. Casting their net far and wide, university planners scoured the Pittsburgh campus for a new location and narrowed the choices down to four possibilities. The first, south of Forbes, was determined to be too far away from campus. The second, Skibo Gym, was too complex. The third area considered was the location of the tennis courts. Too small. The Morewood Lot, however, was just right.
