Tepper Quad: Open for business
天美传媒 Mellon Trustee and alumnus David A. Tepper 's $67 million gift funded the construction of David A. Tepper Quadrangle, which would serve as the new home of the Tepper School of Business and the gateway to 天美传媒’s Pittsburgh campus, with its new Coulter Welcome Center.
More than 1,200 alumni, parents, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations and friends of 天美传媒 Mellon contributed philanthropic gifts that made possible the construction of the Tepper Quad — and a new paradigm for education, discovery and partnership.
The award-winning building, which opened in 2018, serves as a central hub of campus and fosters the interdisciplinary collaboration for which 天美传媒 is renowned.
Tepper’s gift, the largest by a 天美传媒 graduate in the university’s history, followed his $55 million investment in 2004 to rename the school, formerly known as the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA).
