David and Susan Coulter Welcome Center

The Carnegie Mellon University Coulter Welcome Center is a unique destination point for campus visitors. The welcoming space draws people in to engage with students and to see firsthand how Carnegie Mellon's expertise, ambition and world-leading technologies across business, the sciences, the humanities and the arts all benefit humankind. 

Visitors may register in advance for an in-person campus tour led by our Tartan Ambassadors or check out additional online opportunities to hear about CMU and Pittsburgh.

The Tepper Quad consists of a 315,000 square foot state-of-the-art building that houses the Tepper School of Business, the Coulter Welcome Center, the 600-seat Simmons Auditorium, a fitness center, a popular dining location, the Rohr Commons, and the Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship.
