Three PNC Plaza Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Client Space Pittsburgh’s first high-rise in 20 years, and one of the largest environmentally friendly mixed use buildings in the nation, Three PNC Plaza is the culmination of sustainability and workplace best practices. Inside, the new corporate offices support a variety of team and individual workstyles, while reflecting a consistent aesthetic that aligns the PNC brand throughout the United States.
“Communities benefit
when corporate leaders
commit to economic,
social and environmental
responsibility. Three PNC
Plaza has the potential to
be a high performance green
building that is not only
environmentally responsible
but one where employees
can thrive and productivity
can soar.”
—Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO and Founding
Chairman, U.S. Green Building Council
The new PNC workplace, designed to
extend the company’s existing Pittsburgh
campus and expand on its award-winning
com-mitment to sustainability, is a
beautifully innovative, collaborative, and
environmentally responsible structure.
The financial service powerhouse’s
commitment to sustainability, employees,
shareholders, and stakeholders is evident.
Based on thoughtful, research-based
design, the space maximizes daylight,
supports a variety of workstyles, and
encourages team interaction. In addition
it incorporates environmentally conscious
and recycled materials, minimizes
energy consumption, and reduces the
company’s carbon footprint. Even interiors
products were selected for sustainable
manufacturing practices and recycled
materials. For example, the Zody® chairs
not only offer exceptional functionality and
ergonomics, but are made with 51 percent
recycled content, and are 98 percent
recyclable. As a result of all these conscious
decisions, the building has been certified at
the LEED® Gold level.
These individual open work spaces are available for short-term use and are equipped with network and
power connections. The spaces can be used by internal PNC visitors, interns or staff that work away from
the office and only needs drop-in space while in the office.

For lunches, impromptu meetings or workers
looking to get away from their own workstations
for awhile this space has the views and flexibility
to accommodate multiple uses.
The four floors devoted to PNC employees
feature private offices, individual
workstations, training rooms, meeting
rooms, and more. In addition, technology-
ready touchdown stations are available
for visitors and PNC’s increasingly mobile
workforce. And a break area provides
an informal setting for individual or
collaborative work.
What’s more, the development of this
space will guide the look of future PNC
branches and offices, so the company can
put forth a consistent face to employees,
customers, and the public. To ensure
brand and aesthetic alignment, PNC has
adopted the intuitive Mosaic™ facilities
management tool , which ensures that a
consistent brand can be easily adapted to
any work site or style.
Meeting tables and standing height files are located in “neighborhoods” for impromptu, informal
meetings among teams. Confidential conversations are best held in the private office or conference room
area. Plenty of storage is available for all workers.

Top: For personal banking between a PNC rep and a client, private offices in each retail branch are used on a daily basis to discuss confidential information (such as long-term savings or investment strategies). Paper storage is limited as most client information is stored virtually. Bottom Left: Stations are available for personal electronic banking and guest lounges are used while waiting for meetings with PNC representatives. Bottom Right: The 2380 square foot wall is outfitted with hardy evergreens and perennials held within 602 soil-filled panels. Not only does the wall add aesthetically to the façade of One PNC Plaza, but it also provides shading and insulation, which lowers the building’s cooling needs.
PNC employees, at various branch locations, spend their entire day at their workstation in order to be readily available for walk-in customers.
Highly ergonomic chairs are adjustable to allow workers to change from sitting to standing throughout the day.
