The PPG Place Plaza is a one-acre year-round attraction with trees and  seating areas surrounding the unique Water Feature during the warm weather months and an ice rink during the winter months.
The Plaza is the site of a variety of activities throughout the year.

THE PLAZA WATER FEATURE

From spring through fall, the Plaza is a tranquil seating area with tables and plants surrounding a unique Water Feature.   During the warm-weather months, pick up a lunch in the Food Court in Two PPG Place and sit down and enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown Pittsburgh.

WATER FEATURE INFORMATION:

Water pulses from the surface up to a height of over fifteen feet, with no barrier between the fountain and the rest of the plaza. The water disappears into the plaza surface and is recycled. The 140 columns of water are dramatically accented by 280 underground lights, providing a breathtaking display at night.

The feature was designed by WET Design of Universal City in collaboration with SWA Group and officially opened in the spring of 2003.
