Triangle Tech has been around for 80 years, but on Wednesday, students and employees found out the school will close for good.

There are two campuses in the Pittsburgh region — one in the North Side and one in Greensburg, along with four other locations across the state.

Triangle Tech says the COVID-19 pandemic and strenuous government regulations have changed the economies of many post-secondary schools — citing those as reasons for the close.

About 20 positions of the school’s remaining 110 staff members will be immediately affected.

As for students, a statement was released overnight, reading in part, “All remaining students will graduate with Associate in Specialized Technology degrees in their chosen fields through June 2025.”
