For decades the center of student life on campus was " Skibo Hall ", the University's student union. Built in the s, Skibo Hall's design was typical of Mid-Century Modern architecture, but was poorly equipped to deal with advances in computer and internet connectivity. The original Skibo was razed in the summer of and replaced by a new student union that is fully wi-fi enabled. Known as University Center , the building was dedicated in A large grassy area known as "the Cut" forms the backbone of the campus, with a separate grassy area known as "the Mall" running perpendicular.
The Cut was formed by filling in a ravine hence the name with soil from a nearby hill that was leveled to build the College of Fine Arts building. The sculpture was controversial for its placement, the general lack of input that the campus community had, and its aesthetic appeal. In addition to its Pittsburgh campus, Carnegie Mellon has a branch campus in the Middle East, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, which offers a full undergraduate curriculum with degree programs in computer science, business administration, biology, computational biology, and information systems.
It also has graduate-level extension campuses in Mountain View, California in the heart of Silicon Valley offering masters programs in Software Engineering and Software Management.
Carnegie Mellon also maintains the Carnegie Mellon Los Angeles Center in North Hollywood, California where students in the Master of Entertainment Industry Management program are required to relocate to Los Angeles in their second year and attend classes at this facility.
