  • A stunning building even if as a Pitt student/staff/faculty you forget the beauty and only complain about the elevators, crappy heating system, or moldly smells. Some interesting tips: 1) The first Sunday in December is the Nationality Rooms Open House. Each ethnic classroom has a guide in "traditional dress" who does the tour talk, and the whole Commons Room is filled with booths from all the ethnicity commmittees selling food, crafts, and awesome stuff like dance and music performances. BRING CASH (there's a PNC ATM on the G floor). Runs from 12-4 PM, parking will suck but it's worth it. 2) Commons Room trivia: the ceilings are not made of stone, it's acoustic tile painted to look like the rest of the stonework. Some of the giant columns are hollow and have ladders going down them - dusty as hell, but one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had as an undergrad. 3) There are nesting falcons (famous in Pittsburgh) near the top - Pitt has a webcam where you can watch them when they lay eggs and the chicks are born each year. 4) If you call the Nationality Rooms in advance (see their website), you can book a tour with a live human being which is usually more interesting than the tape tour. Might be a minimum number of people, though. 5) Check out Heinz Chapel, right behind the Cathedral - it is seriously stunning (glowing blue stained glass in a dark, huge room), and on Sunday nights the choir does free concerts, and you can pick up a schedule of organ recitals and other events. Great if you are staying at a nearby hotel and wondering what to do at 8 PM on a Sunday. 6) On Tuesday nights at 7 PM, a local group brings therapy dogs to hang out in the Commons Room so that students can get some stress relief. If you show up, you might be able to get some quality dog time in too if you're missing your pets!
