Sennott Square

With the opening of Sennott Square, University of Pittsburgh students and faculty enjoy the latest in classroom facilities and new opportunities in learning, instruction, and research. The Department of Psychology, the Department of Computer Science, the College of Business Administration, and the School of Law's Civil Practice Clinic make their homes in Sennott Square.

From a foundation that incorporates more than one million pounds of reinforcing rods and 575 truckloads of concrete, Sennott Square rises six floors above street level to provide more than 117,000 square feet of functional space. The first floor contains nearly 17,000 square feet of retail shops with access from Forbes Avenue. On Sennott Street, two parklets with benches and ornamental shade trees provide perfect places to relax.

The University of Pittsburgh's first building incorporating "green" construction techniques throughout, Sennott Square is environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
