At UPMC, we’re dedicated to delivering world-class care by providing our patients access to modern facilities, cutting-edge technology, and the latest equipment. Last year, we invested nearly $1 billion to support improvements in buildings, technology, and access to services.
UPMC Mercy Pavilion
In spring 2023, we celebrated the grand opening of the state-of-the-art UPMC Mercy Pavilion. Home to UPMC Vision Institute and UPMC Rehabilitation Institute, UPMC Mercy Pavilion is a destination for patients with specialized vision or physical rehabilitation needs. The new pavilion also includes eight eye disease operating rooms, 83 eye exam rooms, and 106,000 square feet of research space.

Scheduled to open in 2026, the expansion of UPMC Presbyterian will continue to provide Life Changing Medicine from our world-renowned physicians and clinical teams. UPMC Presbyterian will feature 636 state-of-the-art patient rooms, plus amenities such as rooftop gardens and flexible outdoor spaces. Once completed, the 17-story, 900,000-square-foot project will transform the landscape of Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood with a stunning architectural design.
