Langley Hall also houses biological sciences facilities, as well as the 77,000-volume Langley Library, which is the biology, neuroscience, psychology, and life sciences unit of Pitt’s University Library System. The building was named after Samuel P. Langley, a 19th-century Pitt astronomy professor who pioneered heavier-than-air flight and later served as a Smithsonian Institution Secretary. His Aerodrome No. 6, one of only two surviving Langley aircraft, hangs from the ceiling of Wesley W. Posvar Hall. The Clapp/Langley/Crawford complex comprises three interconnected buildings and the Life Science Annex. Together, they house Pitt’s Departments of Biological Sciences and Neuroscience.
