  • Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME
    Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME Welcome to University of Pittsburgh on-campus housing! Whether you are living in a residence hall, apartment-style accommodation, or fraternity complex, you are one of over 7,900 undergraduate students residing on campus, and your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us. It is our priority to ensure that your time in on-campus housing is one of many positive and rewarding experiences here at Pitt. The purpose of this Handbook is not only to provide you with a comprehensive reference for living on campus, but also to advise you of the policies for residing in University housing. This Handbook is not, and does not, create a contract. Upon electronically signing your Housing and Dining Services Contract (Contract), you agreed to, among other things, abide by the policies, rules, and regulations set forth in this Handbook and any other official University publications, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures. Communal campus living can be a great college experience, but with your decision to do so comes a responsibility to abide by the rules necessary for the safety and enjoyment of all. With your cooperation, this goal will be met. This Handbook is divided into two sections. The first section (Everyday Living) addresses matters specifically related to your occupancy of University housing. The second section (Resources and Services) provides other useful information pertaining to the University. Each section has been organized alphabetically for easy reference. If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please feel free to contact Panther Central at 412-648-1100, [email protected], or www.pc.pitt.edu.

  • The Ruth Crawford Mitchell Czech/Slovak Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh
    The Ruth Crawford Mitchell Czech/Slovak Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH: The Czechoslovak Connection Pittsburgh entered Czechoslovak history in May 1918 when President Tomas G. Masaryk came to the city and convened Czechs and Slovaks to sign the Pittsburgh Agreement. This act led to the proclamation of Czechoslovak national independence on October 28, 1918. The University of Pittsburgh’s connection with Czechoslovakia began in 1927, when the city’s Czechs and Slovaks formed a committee to create a Czechoslovak Nationality Classroom in its 42-story Cathedral of Learning in its planning stages. This room was their gift to the University. Alice G. Masaryk, the president’s daughter, was a member of the Czechoslovak Room Committee in Prague. Alice’s friendship with Ruth Crawford Mitchell had begun in 1919, when Mrs. Mitchell was in Prague as head of a YWCA team to conduct a social survey for the Red Cross. Together, under the patronage of President Masaryk, they created Czechoslovakia’s first school of social work. On March 7, 1939, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk was the speaker at the dedication of the Czechoslovak Nationality Room. His words on that occasion foreshadowed the tragic events which would soon sweep over Czechoslovakia. Part of the legacy left by Ruth Crawford Mitchell is an annual scholarship which enables a Czech or Slovak scholar (not a student) to conduct research at the University of Pittsburgh. Applications are encouraged from those who wish to examine current problems in commerce, education, science, public administration, political science, economics, and sociology. Applicants from the academic, government, and business sectors are eligible.

  • Iroquois Building Medical Arts Building Parking Levels
    UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH MEDICAL CENTER OAKLAND COMPLEX The UPMC Center consists of the renovation of the Medical Arts Building on Fifth Avenue, the renovation of the Iroquois Building on Forbes Avenue, and the addition of the Forbes Tower Building behind the Iroquois Building. Both the Iroquois and Medical Arts Buildings, 6 and 5 stories respectively, were historic landmark buildings that were completely gutted and renovated into state-of-the-art office, retail, and clinical space. The Medical Arts Building parking garage, which was condemned, was repaired and reopened for public use. Both the Iroquois and Medical Arts Buildings had all new electrical, tele-data, and life- safety systems installed, as well as all new HVAC and sprinklers. Forbes Tower provides 300,000 S.F. of space which houses the UPMC Corporate and Administrative Offices, as well as the main data center for the entire hospital system. Forbes Tower is an 11-story building with 3 underground Iroquois Building Medical Arts Building parking levels. TKA Architects design included the garage, the building shell and all of the interior offices and furniture designs and construction. TKA Architects was able to assist the Owner in re- planning and value engineering the interior construction costs and schedules to compensate for the extremely volatile nature of the Health Systems space requirements. TKA was able to completely redesign and relocate space for new tenants and tenant requirements. The overall project costs, including interiors was $180,000,000.00. These three buildings created the administrative and informational core of the entire UPMC system. Medical Arts Building TKA Architects .
