Ruskin Hall, Residence hall at University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Ruskin Hall is a residence building at the University of Pittsburgh with 178 apartment-style units arranged around a central courtyard. Each unit includes a private bathroom and kitchen, located within the Schenley Farms National Historic District.
The building was originally constructed in 1921 as Ruskin Apartments and acquired by the University of Pittsburgh in 1958 for student housing. This conversion established it as a key part of the campus residential network.
The structure maintains connections to John Ruskin's educational principles while serving as a modern residential space for university students.
The complex offers single-person efficiency apartments and multi-person units with wireless internet throughout. Visitors should explore the central courtyard area, where most entrances to different residential blocks are accessible.
The building received solar panels on its rooftop in 2024, making it the first University of Pittsburgh residence building with this energy source. This installation reflects the institution's commitment to sustainability in student housing.
