Ruskin Hall, Residence hall at University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
The building features 178 apartment-style units with private baths, kitchens, and a central courtyard within the Schenley Farms National Historic District.
Originally constructed in 1921 as Ruskin Apartments, the University of Pittsburgh purchased the property in 1958 for $2.24 million to provide faculty housing.
The structure maintains connections to John Ruskin's educational principles while serving as a modern residential space for university students.
The residence hall contains 416 beds distributed across single-person efficiency apartments and multi-person units, all equipped with wireless internet access.
In 2024, Ruskin Hall became the first University of Pittsburgh residence building to incorporate 240 solar panels on its rooftop.
