Pittsburgh has two "civic centers" which may be roughly equivalent to your term "cultural campus."
Oakland Civic Center--includes:
* Carnegie Museum of Natural History
* Carnegie Museum of Art
* Main Branch, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
* Carnegie Music Hall and Carnegie Lecture Hall
* Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
* Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and National Military Museum
* Main Campus, University of Pittsburgh
* Carnegie Mellon University
* Carlow University
* A mile further east, Chatham University
* Several hospitals and research centers of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)

* Studios of WQED-TV 13 and WQEX-TV 16, first community educational television station in nation and first sister educational television station in nation, respectively
* RAND Corporation building, Pittsburgh headquarters

* Several non-profit fraternal organizations
Formerly included:
* Museum and Library of Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania [larger facility built Downtown in the 1990s)
* Syria Mosque concert hall (regrettably demolished; Pittsburgh Symphony moved to Heinz Hall, Downtown)
* Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates (demolished in 1970; Pirates moved to North Side)
Lower North Side Civic Center--includes:
* America's first publicly-funded Carnegie Library (presently closed after damage due to lightning strike on building--although damage repaired, Carnegie Library, regrettably, has abandoned building to build smaller branch three blocks away)
* World's first Carnegie Hall; now includes New Hazlett Theater
* Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, which now uses:
** Historic Buhl Planetarium building
** Historic domed Allegheny Post Office building
** New green building
* National Aviary

* Carnegie Science Center
* RiverQuest river/environmental educational program

* PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)
* Heinz Field (Pittsburgh Steelers)
* Several public and parochial schools
Many of the educational and recreational facilities listed do, from time-to-time, collaborate with different programs and offerings. Organizations of these facilities do exist to discuss and evaluate such collaborations.
