Bridgeside Point I 

Located adjacent to one of Pittsburgh’s iconic rivers and a bridge away from the bustling Southside, the Physical Therapy department is housed in the bright and spacious Bridgeside Point.

Features of our space include:

  • Study spots with gorgeous views
  • Updated anatomy lab (more below)
  • Classrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows
  • Dedicated lounge and veranda, just for physical therapy students.

All classes for the DPT on-campus option are held here and the building is open to the on-campus students 24/7 who are looking to gather and study.

Anatomy Lab 

Our state-of-the-art facilities don’t stop there!

The Anatomy Lab is located in Bridgeside Point and is used by several SHRS departments. The lab can accommodate up to 50 students. The main teaching area of the lab has space for up to 10 donors on downdraft tables.

Four large monitors are set up around the facility to display instructional content or project images during instruction which are captured by the cameras on the ceiling.

Additional space for studying bones and models is available on the other side of the lab. Students can gather around the demonstration table for additional instruction.

Check out the virtual 360° tour of our Anatomy Lab.

The Box Office 

This facility is in the center of the Southside Works which is a hub of restaurants, shopping and activities.

While the building developers maintained the art-deco facade of the old movie theatre box office it use to be, inside is a completely renovated and purpose-built space just for hybrid students. When visiting Pittsburgh for immersions, our students can look forward to:

  • Lounge space
  • Updated lab facilities
  • Stunning river views
  • Access to similar equipment found in Bridgeside Point I
