University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg: A Visitor Guide

The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, often called Pitt-Greensburg, is located at 150 Finoli Drive in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Its suburban campus is about 2 miles southeast of downtown Greensburg and about 40 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh.

The campus map groups many student services in two buildings. Chambers Hall includes athletic facilities, a bookstore, dining hall, health center, housing, an information desk and student services. Millstein Library houses the library, academic advising, financial aid, the Learning Resource Center, the registrar and student accounts.

From Inn at Mountainview, the campus is about a 9-minute drive; a small inn in Greensburg offers a place to stay while visiting Pitt-Greensburg. For route planning, the University points drivers approaching on U.S. Route 30 to the Greensburg–Mt. Pleasant Road exit, then along Mt. Pleasant Road for about 1 mile to the main campus entrance.

If you are driving east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the University’s directions take you off at New Stanton. From there, follow U.S. Route 119 north for about 6 miles, then take U.S. Route 30 east to the Greensburg–Mt. Pleasant Road exit.

The University also gives a route from the north via Toll Route 66 that passes an automatic tollbooth requiring $0.95 in change: quarters, dimes and nickels are accepted, but pennies are not. Check the official site before you go for current route and toll details.

Every vehicle on campus must have a valid parking permit, and driving onto campus without one can result in a fine. Pitt-Greensburg provides separate campus and parking maps; the parking map marks visitor spaces in purple-designated parking areas.

For permit questions, contact the Business Office at 724-836-9908 or Campus Police at 724-836-9865. The Business Office is at Millstein Library 130 and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

If your visit includes a residence hall, stay with your host. Staff may ask you to show valid photo ID, and the University’s policy says visitors must not carry or use another person’s residence-hall key or student ID. Confirm the current rules with the University before a residence-hall visit.

Pitt-Greensburg offers weekday walking tours lasting 1 hour, followed by a meeting with a counselor. Schedule a tour by contacting upgadmit@pitt.edu or calling 724-836-9880.

For a residence-hall visit, the University’s policy limits each host to 2 visitors at a time and each room or apartment to 4 visitors. Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Overnight visitors from off campus who stay between midnight and 8 a.m. must be registered; the policy allows up to 3 consecutive nights and 8 nights per calendar month.

The Greensburg Police Department is staffed around the clock at the Police and Safety Center connected to Smith Hall. Its phone number is 724-836-9865.

Downtown Greensburg’s walking tour starts at the 5-Star Trail’s Laird Street crossing and passes City Hall, Pennsylvania Avenue, the Palace Theatre, Art in the Alley and St. Clair Park. You can plan a walk through Greensburg’s city centre as a separate outing.

The city reports 15 downtown surface parking lots and on-street parking areas, as well as the Robert A. Bell Parking Garage, which has 400 spaces. If you are arranging transport around town, consider how to get around Greensburg.
