Corporate Team Building Solutions in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh’s business map has three anchors: the Golden Triangle downtown at the point where three rivers meet, the Oakland corridor around Pitt and Carnegie Mellon, and the Cranberry Township corridor north of the city, home to advanced manufacturing employers. Getting downtown means crossing a river through one of the tunnels or bridges that lead in — the Fort Pitt Tunnel alone carries around 107,000 vehicles a day. Outback has run team building for teams of every kind across the Pittsburgh region, and we’ll help you manage the planning. With Outback, you’ll get:
- Self-hosted, virtual, or fully facilitated events, indoors or out

THE PAYOFF
Why Pittsburgh Is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Pittsburgh works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
Downtown sits where the three rivers meet, with I-279 running in from Cranberry Township to the north and I-376 from the South Hills to the south.
-
Indoor and Outdoor, Any Season
Point State Park and Schenley Park when your team wants to be outside, plus downtown hotels and the convention center when they don’t. Any time of year works.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
A boardroom for ten or the 1.5-million-square-foot David L. Lawrence Convention Center downtown, plus hotels like the Omni William Penn in between.
-
A Golden Triangle You Can Walk
The compact downtown core, bounded by rivers on three sides, is built for a scavenger hunt or a walking challenge on foot.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
The Strip District’s bars and market stalls, or Station Square’s restaurants across the river, are both a short walk once the day wraps.
