O'Hara Student Center, Academic support center in Oakland, Pittsburgh, United States.
Description
The O'Hara Student Center is an academic support facility at the University of Pittsburgh housed in a three-story Romanesque Revival building containing 35,000 square feet of space. The facility offers writing workshops, mathematics tutoring, and areas for student organizations spread across its three floors.
History
The building opened in 1913 as the Concordia Club, a social organization for German Jewish residents in the area. The University of Pittsburgh acquired the property in 2009 and converted it into a center for student support.
Culture
The center keeps its original oak-paneled rooms and historical chandeliers as students gather here for academic help and group activities. This blend of old architectural elements with modern student life shapes how the space feels today.
