Strada is taking active measures to ensure the health of our Team Members and also to assist in fighting the spread of COVID-19.
Effective March 17, 2020, Strada is closing our physical offices in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and we will continue to operate remotely. We anticipate returning to our offices on April 30, 2020 but will update our plans as new information becomes available.
Meetings will be held virtually, via conference call or may be postponed. All of our Team Members will be working remotely under our work-from-home policy. Due to the two-week school and business closings our staff may be active at various times throughout the day and evening, so please bear with us as we make every effort to stay on schedule and in contact with our clients and business colleagues.

Bridgeside is near Pittsburgh's Eliza Furnace Trail, which draws runners and cyclists from throughout the city.
Strada designed the Bridgeside II Laboratory Center as a flexible core-and-shell building to accommodate commercial, as well as university research and development laboratories. It was designed and equipped to accommodate the special needs of laboratories for research, testing, or education user groups. As it turned out, soon after completion, the University of Pittsburgh leased the entire facility for life science research, including a vivarium for animal research. Extensive mechanical retrofits – coordinated by Strada with the interior architects – were required.
Bridgeside II is one of the newer facilities at the Pittsburgh Technology Park, on the site of a former Jones and Laughlin steel mill that once churned beside the Monongahela River This project is representative of Pittsburgh’s rapidly growing technology sector, much of it developed in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.
