The Heinz Architectural Center underscores the CMOA’s bent toward the collection, study, and exhibition of architectural drawings and sculpture. The Center itself provides a reason for those with architectural interests to visit; the edifice combines Classicism and Modernism, alluding to the Carnegie Institute without mirroring it. It also houses its own galleries and a study room.

The Hall of Architecture holds the largest collection of plaster casts of architectural masterpieces in America and is one of the three largest collections of its kind in the world. Other areas of distinction include: contemporary art and multimedia; American art from the 19th  century; European and American decorative art; and French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.
