Cathedral of Learning
The Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh is, hands down, the greatest educational building I have ever seen.
One of the foremost Gothic architects of the time, Philadelphian Charles Klauder, was hired to design the tower. The design took two years to finish, with the final plan attempting to fuse the idea of a modern skyscraper with the tradition and ideals of Gothic architecture.
In the featured Wikipedia picture, the dang thing looks quite surreal, but in a very very cool way. Apparently, parts of it are haunted. (And really, if you were a ghost, wouldn’t you hang out there?)

I was there with Brendan Meeder back in 1999! It really was an awesome building inside and out.

If I were a ghost I might spend a considerable amount of time in IHoP.
