Trees Hall

Trees Hall is a sports complex at the University of Pittsburgh housing multiple athletic facilities under one roof. The building contains an Olympic-size swimming pool, gymnastics and dance areas, weight training zones, racquetball courts, basketball courts, and a climbing wall.

The structure was designed by the architectural firm Deeter & Ritchey and opened in 1962. A second construction phase was completed in 1965, expanding the facility's capacity to serve the growing university sports program.

The hall functions as a training and competition hub for the university community, drawing swimmers, gymnasts, and other athletes throughout the year. It remains central to how the university's sports programs connect with students and the broader Pittsburgh area.

The facility is easily accessible from main campus pathways and clearly marked. Visitors should note that different areas may have varying hours, and some spaces require staff supervision or scheduling during peak times.

When the swimming pool opened in 1962, it gained significant regional attention for being a major athletic facility of its scale. The pool became known among coaches and swimmers for its size and modern setup at that time.
