A Message from Joe Post, Director of Residence Life & Housing Services

To all students, parents, family and friends, I want to personally offer my welcome to you for the upcoming quarter. My name is Joe Post and I am the Director of Residence Life & Housing Services. Our facilities include the following Residence Halls: Shannon Hall, Standard Life Building & Miller Hall.

We are here to support and enhance your college experience through a dynamic housing program that provides opportunities for individual growth and development for a diverse residential population. On-Campus housing strives to provide facilities that are clean, attractive, safe, well- maintained, and available at a reasonable cost.

Each resident is assigned a Resident Advisor who has been trained as a liaison between the Student Housing Office and the resident community. They are available to answer questions about the campus and living in the residence halls. If there are any questions, concerns or emergencies, please seek out your Resident Advisors for assistance.
 
Each of the Resident Advisors are supervised by Residence Life Coordinators. Each location has a professional staff member who lives on site. The benefit of these positions is to ensure the safety and security of the facilities.

Student Housing Accommodations:

The primary residence hall is located at 615 First Avenue located in downtown Pittsburgh. Shannon Hall is comprised of 140 apartments that accommodate up to 628 students. Other residence halls include: 100 Smithfield Street and 345 Fourth Avenue also located in downtown Pittsburgh.
