  • Residence Quick Reference
    UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Academy Residential Quick Reference This is a quick reference sheet about the relevant information and policies that any students staying in the dorm should know. Some minor specifics may change year to year, such as the dorm or exact curfew hours, but overall policies are consistent. Location: Forbes Hall - https://pc.pitt.edu/housing/halls/forbes.php 3525 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Students, Doris Duke, Interns, and Resident advisors will be staying in Forbes Hall. The dorm is located on the west side of the university campus. University Policies: Students in the dorms will be expected to follow all University of Pittsburgh Housing policies, in addition to the policies of the Hillman Academy. A detailed look at the policies can be found here - https://www.pc.pitt.edu/housing/policies.php You can also contact Panther Central for any questions related to Pitt or the dorms. (info below) The most important ones to note are the Guest, Technology, and Substance policies. Transportation: Transportation to and from your lab, keynote addresses, and events will be provided. We hire a private shuttle to take students to and from these required events. Anyone staying in the dorm will have access to the Pitt shuttle but not to the Port Authority (the public transit system in Pittsburgh). Getting transportation aside from these times is up to the resident. Students whose labs are located in the Oakland area are allowed to walk to their lab as they are within a few blocks. Resident Advisors: The dorm will have (usually) 3-5 Resident Advisors who will stay in the dorm with the students.
