RE: How big is it?
At least Pitt gets to win at something.

Who's got that ugly a** white building to the right of yours? FSU's dorm ain't pretty either, but at least it's not tall-er/ish and is supposed to be razed (along with all the other ugly dorms near it) and rebuilt within the next 5-10 years.

A disclaimer, these aren't necessarily the tallest structures at any campus, but either one of the more recognizable structures if its height was available, otherwise one of the taller buildings whose height was available (via Emporis).

From left to right (in feet)...
Rotunda (UVA) 77
Tech Tower (GT) 103.09
Kellum Hall (FSU) 119.37
Unitas Tower (UL) 145.37
Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower (UNC) 172
Hesburgh Library (ND) 210
Duke Chapel (DU) 210
Cathedral of Learning (Pitt) 535.01 ft
Lawrinson Hall (SU) 223
Wait Chapel (WF) 213
Gasson Hall (BC) 200
Strode Tower (CU) 157.98
Walsh Tower (UM) 133.81
Memorial Bell Tower (NCSU) 115
Burruss Hall (VT) 94.79

BTW, Pitt would have the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tallest building on that diagram as well, Litchfield Tower B is 262.83 feet, Heinz Chapel's steeple reaches 256 feet, and Litchfield Tower A is 226.99 feet.

Slusher Tower's "twelve floors of whores" is the tallest building in Blacksburg.
