Allegheny General Hospital Back Institute

In the 1960's the Aerial Map Building housed state-of-the-art cartography equipment. Today the building houses sophisticated medical equipment for
diagnosing and treating patients with back pain.

A consortium of doctors knew that the North Side building, though vacant for years, offered open spaces and a prime location near Allegheny General Hospital and I-279.

Mistick Construction provided the value engineering, project management and construction services needed to transform the 25,000 square foot building into a premiere medical office building.

Working in a densely populated urban area presented special construction challenges. The setting also required that core building functions, including the elevators, stair towers and restrooms be located in the adjacent new construction in order to create the most effective use of available space.

A mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, facility is located next to the building and docked to the stairwell through an air lock system.

The building’s penthouse level features multiple peaks to reflect the architecture of the surrounding structures.
