Student's Views
Students talk about why they're excited that Pitt's health and wellness resources will be under one roof, at the heart of campus.


Highly energy-efficient, with plenty of natural light, the new facility will support Pitt’s commitment to sustainability.

Upgrades to power, chilled water and sewer lines will support and enable Pitt's campus master plan.
