The 33,000-square-foot building includes a learning center, wellness center and gym.

Ceremony guests included Steelers owner Art Rooney II and several former Steelers.

The Best of the Batch Foundation was started by Batch in his hometown to provide children with free programs focused on education, health and outreach services.

The new facility also provides space for the UPMC Munhall Family Medicine Health & Wellness Center and opportunities for new programming.

“We provide a lot of things that I didn’t have access to growing up here,” said Batch in a news release. “That’s the reason we do this. We’re an extended arm to help families with children in school that don’t necessarily have access to resources that exist in other areas of the city.”
