Mill 19: a creative hub built into a former steel factory
Reported byGuardian Environment ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Mill 19, once part of the Jones and Laughlin steel mill in Pittsburgh, has been repurposed as a hub for tech, robotics and advanced manufacturing, with tenants including Carnegie Mellon University and the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute. The adaptive reuse keeps the steel frame out of landfill, now supporting solar panels, and includes a quarter-mile channel planted with native trees to filter stormwater.
More of Hazelwood Green is still under redevelopment; the full vision for retail and commercial space is ongoing.
