  • Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine
    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 52 April 1969 Number 2 A HERITAGE OF DREAMS Some Aspects of the History of the Architecture and Planning of the University of Pittsburgh, 1787-1969 James D.Van Trump architectural history of any human institution is no incon- siderable part of that organization, whether it is a church or Thelibrary, bank or governmental agency; its building or buildings are its flesh by which in all phases of its development its essential image is presented to the world. Nowadays, as site and area planning come increasingly to the fore, the relation of groups of buildings to the land is receiving more attention from historians. Institutions of higher learning with their campuses and their interaction with larger social, architectural, and planning especially amenable to this patterns are' type of study. 1 An exhibition of the history of the architecture and planning of the University of Pittsburgh from 1787 to 1969 was held recently in Mr. Van Trump who is Vice-President and Director of Research of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation and the editor of Chorette, the Pennsylvania Journal of Architecture, is well-known as an authority on the building history of Western Pennsylvania and as a frequent contributor to this magazine. He is currently working on a book dealing with the architecture of the Allegheny County Court House and Jail and he hopes to publish inbook form his researches into the architectural history of the University of Pitts- burgh.—Editor 1 Such studies are not exactly new as evidenced by the series of articles on American college campuses published in the Architectural Record from 1909-1912 by the well known architectural critic and journalist, Montgomery Schuyler (1843-1914).

  • 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.

    Nationality Rooms Newsletter Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Programs at the University of Pittsburgh http://www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu/news-events Volume 93 Spring 2013 THE SWISS ROOM Dedicated April 22, 2012 THE SWISS ROOM The Swiss Room depicts a common room of the late Medieval style, circa 1500, and is modeled after a room at the Fraumu nster Abbey on display at Zurich’s Landesmuseum. The 26 “stabellen” style chairs bear the coats of arms of the Swiss Confederation’s cantons. The four trestle tables and the display cases represent the language and cultural regions of Switzerland (German, French, Italian, and Romansch). The furniture and bay area benches are white oak while the rest of the room is of pine. The leaded windows highlight the first three cantons that formed the Swiss Confederation in 1291, making Switzerland the world’s oldest continuous democracy. The doorstraps, hinges and latch hardware were inspired by medieval examples. The beamed ceilings feature nature and agricultural motifs. The rosettes that house the warm lighting, the beam ends and much of the decorative frieze in the crown molding display nature themes. The kachelofen (tile oven) has uniquely Swiss figures, animals, and colors. This is a recreation of a 1640s design created by HH Graaf displayed at Schloss Wu lflingen, Winterthur, Switzerland. The theme of the room is education for all children regardless of status or means, embodied in the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) of Geneva Kachelofen (tile oven) and Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) of Zu rich. Their portraits on the rear wall display the sketch style of Hans Holbein the Younger of Basel (1497-1543).
