The '''Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy''', also known as '''Heinz College''', is the [[Public policy school|public policy]] and [[Information school|information college]] of [[Carnegie Mellon University]] in [[Pittsburgh]], [[Pennsylvania]]. It consists of the School of Information Systems and Management and the School of Public Policy and Management.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome to Heinz College {{!}} A Message From Dean Ramayya Krishnan {{!}} Welcome to the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy |url=https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/about/ |access-date=2023-01-22 |website=Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College |language=en}}</ref> The college is named after CMU's former instructor and the later [[United States Senate|U.S. Senator]] [[John Heinz]] from Pennsylvania.<ref>{{Cite web |title=From SUPA to Heinz: 50 Years of Intelligent Action {{!}} A History of Heinz College |url=https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/about/history |access-date=2023-01-22 |website=Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College |language=en}}</ref>

The Heinz College educational process integrates policy analysis, management, and information technology. Coursework emphasizes the applied and interdisciplinary fields of empirical methods and [[statistics]], [[economics]], [[information systems]] and [[technology]], [[operations research]], and [[organizational behavior]]. In addition to full-time, on campus programs in [[Pittsburgh]], [[Washington, DC]], [[Los Angeles]], and [[Adelaide]], the Heinz College offers graduate-level programs to non-traditional students through part-time on-campus and distance programs, customized programs, and [[executive education]] programs for senior managers.

== History ==
[[File:John Heinz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|[[John Heinz]], namesake of the Heinz College]]
[[Richard King Mellon]] and his wife Constance had long been interested in urban and social issues. In 1965, they sponsored a conference on urban problems, in which they began discussions with the [[University of Pittsburgh]] and [[Carnegie Mellon University]] to create a school focused on [[Public administration|public affairs]]. In 1967, Carnegie Mellon President [[H. Guyford Stever]], [[Richard Cyert|Richard M. Cyert]], Dean of the [[Tepper School of Business]], and [[Professor]]s [[William W. Cooper]] and Otto Davis met and formed a university-wide committee to discuss creating a school that would train leaders to address complex problems in [[United States|American]] [[Urban community|urban communities]]. Davis was asked to draft a proposal to create such a school and focused on applying the Tepper School of Business' pioneering quantitative and skill-based approach to management education as well as technology to public sector problems.

In 1968, William Cooper and Otto Davis presented the final proposal for the School of Urban and Public Affairs (SUPA) to the Richard King Mellon Foundation. The proposal found favor with R. K. Mellon and he became strongly committed to creating such a school. The R. K. Mellon Foundation sent a proposal to President Stever to finance it with an initial grant of $10 million, and on 1 November 1968, President Stever created the School of Urban and Public Affairs with William Cooper as the first dean. The school initially drew much of its faculty from the Tepper School of Business and was based in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall. Eventually, the school became independent of other colleges within the university and moved to its current location in historic [[Main Building, U.S. Bureau of Mines|Hamburg Hall]] when the facility was acquired by the university from the [[U.S. Bureau of Mines]]. Subsequent Deans include Otto Davis, [[Brian Berry]], Joel A. Tarr, [[Alfred Blumstein]], former Carnegie Mellon Provost Mark Kamlet, [[Linda C. Babcock]], [[Jeffrey Hunker]], [[Mark Wessel]], and current dean [[Ramayya Krishnan]].

In 1992, [[Teresa Heinz]] donated a large sum of money to the school, which was then renamed as the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management in honor of Mrs. Heinz's late husband, Senator H. John Heinz III. Senator Heinz, heir to the [[H. J. Heinz Company]] fortune, had been killed when his small private plane crashed one year before.<ref name="History">{{cite web| title=History| work=Heinz College| url=http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/about-heinz/history/index.aspx| access-date = 24 December 2013}}</ref>

In 2007, the Heinz School received a grant from the [[Heinz Foundations]] that transformed the school into a college and formalized the School of Information Systems & Management alongside the School of Public Policy & Management under the college's administration. The official launch of the H. John Heinz III College of Information Systems and Public Policy was held on October 24, 2008 during Carnegie Mellon's [[Homecoming]] weekend and was led by Dean Krishnan, Teresa Heinz, and former [[United States Secretary of the Treasury]] [[Paul O'Neill (Secretary of the Treasury)|Paul O'Neill]].<ref name="Oct. 24: Carnegie Mellon Dedicates New H.

== Facilities ==
[[Image:Main Building, U.S. Bureau of Mines.jpg|thumb|left|325px|[[Main Building, U.S. Bureau of Mines|Hamburg Hall]], home of the Heinz College]]
Heinz College is headquartered in Hamburg Hall, a building listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and designed by noted [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] architect [[Henry Hornbostel]]. Hamburg Hall is named for Lester A. Hamburg, an industrialist and philanthropist active in the [[History of the Jews in Pittsburgh|Pittsburgh Jewish Community]].<ref name="NCJW Oral History Project">{{cite news| title=Pittsburgh and Beyond: The Experience of the Jewish Community| work=NCJW Oral History Project| url=http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/i/image/image-idx?view=entry;cc=ncjw;entryid=x-ais196440.185"| access-date = 16 October 2015}}</ref> The Heinz College also has a [[Heinz College Australia|branch campus]] in [[Adelaide]], [[South Australia]], which offers master's degrees in Public Policy and Management and Information Technology. Heinz College also maintains a [[North Hollywood]] center in [[Los Angeles]] as part of the jointly administered master's degree program in Entertainment Industry Management, and a center in [[Washington, DC]] on [[Capitol Hill]] for students in the Public Policy and Management masters program.

Carnegie Mellon is in the process of renovating and expanding the Heinz College's Pittsburgh facilities through a four-phased process across [[Forbes Avenue]] from the 2013-announced Tepper Quadrangle. The ultimate plan for Hamburg Hall is to capture new space – approximately 20,000 square feet – by enclosing the courtyard between the rotunda, the East and West Wings, and the adjacent Elliott Dunlap Smith Hall with a soaring glass roof structure. This new space will include a large, multi‐purpose Classroom of the Future, lounges, meeting/study space, and a café. Phase I of renovations and expansion of Hamburg Hall was entirely financed by Heinz College and was completed in September 2013. Heinz College students immediately benefited from convenient access to the new student services and computing services suites. The construction of new career services interview rooms provides up‐to‐date facilities for on‐campus recruiters.<ref name="CMU receives $10M to renovate, expand Heinz College">{{cite news| title=CMU receives $10M to renovate, expand Heinz College| work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette| url=http://www.post-gazette.com/local/breaking/2013/12/11/CMU-receives-10M-to-renovate-expand-Heinz-College/stories/201312110152"| access-date = 12 December 2013}}</ref>

A December 2013 gift from [[The Heinz Endowments]] combined with gift commitments from other donors enabled the Heinz College to expedite the final architectural design of Phase II elements, finalize necessary construction planning, commence renovations and expansion, and complete a structure that will add additional value to the college. A new 150-seat auditorium in the courtyard between Hamburg Hall and Smith Hall was constructed, and both levels of the rotunda were transformed into student study and lounge spaces as well as a grand entrance and lobby area, and renamed as the Teresa Heinz Rotunda. The new auditorium allows the college to host high-profile speakers. Further, the west wing of Hamburg Hall now consists of forward-looking classrooms in the space that was vacated by the Engineering Research Accelerator when it moved to the newly constructed Scott Hall. An additional entrance from Forbes Avenue was also constructed.<ref name="Heinz Endowments Gift"/><ref name="12/03/2014 Town Hall Meeting">{{cite web| title=12/03/2014 Town Hall Meeting| work=Carnegie Mellon University| url=http://www.cmu.edu/cdfd/heinz-hamburg-hall/2014-12-03-town-hall-meeting/heinz-town-hall-combined.pdf| access-date=14 February 2015| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214100825/http://www.cmu.edu/cdfd/heinz-hamburg-hall/2014-12-03-town-hall-meeting/heinz-town-hall-combined.pdf| archive-date=14 February 2015}}</ref><ref name="Necessary Investment">{{cite web| title=Necessary Investment| work=Carnegie Mellon University| url=http://www.cmu.edu/piper/stories/2014/november/necessary-investment.html| access-date = 25 November 2014}}</ref><ref name="Heinz College - Hamburg Hall Addition">{{cite web| title=Heinz College - Hamburg Hall Addition| work=Carnegie Mellon University| url=http://www.cmu.edu/cdfd/heinz-hamburg-hall/index.html| access-date=2 March 2016| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307065925/http://www.cmu.edu/cdfd/heinz-hamburg-hall/index.html| archive-date=7 March 2016}}</ref>

During Phase III the addition to Hamburg Hall, including a glass roof, end walls, café, and study space, will be constructed.  Fire protection and elevator improvements will also be addressed as well as the addition of new classrooms (including designated executive education rooms).  The addition of 20,000 square feet to Hamburg Hall will allow the Heinz College to continue to grow student enrollment.  This phase is planned for completion by 2017.

The final phase, Phase IV, will renovate third-floor faculty and PhD offices and meeting spaces.<ref name="Necessary Investment"/>

The new additions and renovations will be designed to achieve [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED Silver]] certification.<ref name="CMU airs 10-year master plan">{{cite news| title=CMU airs 10-year master plan| work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette| url=http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/news/education/cmu-airs-10-year-master-plan-210704/| access-date = 29 December 2012| first=Bill| last=Schackner| date=3 March 2011}}</ref><ref name="Heinz College">{{cite web| title=GBBN Architects: Carnegie Mellon University/Heinz College addition| work=web site| url=https://www.gbbn.com/work/carnegie-mellon-university-heinz-college-of-information-systems-and-public-policy/| access-date = 22 April 2013}}</ref>
