David Lawrence Hall

David Lawrence Hall is a prominent academic building at the University of Pittsburgh, known for being the largest lecture hall and auditorium facility on campus. Completed in 1968, it has a rich history, including being the site of significant student protests in 1969. Originally named the Common Facilities Building, it was renamed in honor of David L.
