Our City/Our Campus

A record-breaking football game capped the week.

On Sept. 29, the University of Pittsburgh broke ground on the institution’s new state-of-the-art Recreation and Wellness Center. To commemorate the next phase of construction, Pitt hosted a celebration for students, faculty, staff and community members in the courtyard of Benedum Hall that featured music, food and giveaways.

This week’s celebration is for alumni — and students and the larger Pittsburgh community.

Faculty, staff and students can participate Oct. 17-22.

You probably studied or took classes there. But what do you call it?

Residents are encouraged to keep coming back: “It’s here. Utilize it.”

Scan the QR code stickers on the sidewalks around the Pittsburgh campus to test your pedestrian safety knowledge while you wait to cross.

From Bradford birding to Hispanic Heritage Month events, there’s plenty to keep you busy as fall rolls in.

Pitt’s tree-planting efforts support more than the environment — there are health benefits, too. Here are five trees on the Pittsburgh campus that are worth a peep as the leaves begin to turn.

Recipients were honored during halftime at the homecoming football game.
