The Hillman is the primary library for students, faculty and visiting scholars at the University Of Pittsburgh.

Commonly known locally as Pitt, the University of Pittsburgh is a state-related research university that began in 1787. The university is comprised of 17 undergraduate and graduate schools located in various buildings in the city’s Oakland neighborhood — effectively making it Pitt’s campus.

The Hillman is located on land donated by the Pittsburgh coal magnate Hillman family in the 1950s that bordered the legendary Forbes Field (1909-1971) baseball stadium. It was finally completed in 1968 and is an excellent example of mid-century design with a façade of Indiana Limestone and an interior warmed with teak and black metal. Among the more impressive aspects of the design are the floor-to-ceiling windows that are angled to blend in with the façade while still providing a flood of welcome natural light to the interior.
