David Lawrence Hall

David Lawrence Hall contains many classrooms and lecture halls which are used for social sciences classes, in disciplines across the curriculum.

The building is named in honor of David L. Lawrence, former governor of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh's mayor from 1946 to 1959. He was the leader of Pittsburgh's first great building Renaissance.

The hall houses the largest newly renovated auditorium on campus; it seats 998 people and is generally divided into two large lecture classes.
