This project is a fine example of how a university can play a key role in urban revitalization. Located on what was once an unattractive, blighted area, the Power Center is now part of a growing commercial district that serves both the students of Duquesne University and downtown Pittsburgh visitors. By working closely with the City and other partners, Duquesne showed a commitment to meeting both the University’s goals and the community’s needs. It has also set a standard for other development that is now under way in the area of Pittsburgh’s new sports arena.
