Richard King Mellon Hall of Science stands on the Duquesne University campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1968. The four-story academic building features two large lecture halls on its ground floor, with three floors of laboratory facilities stacked above, serving the university's departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Pharmacy. Positioned at the edge of a bluff, the structure commands views overlooking the Monongahela River, exemplifying Mies van der Rohe's modernist approach to institutional architecture.
