City okays zoning change for dorm expansion
Pittsburgh City Council on May 20 approved updates to the University’s master plan and a zoning change request that will enable Pitt to expand student housing at Bouquet Gardens.
To facilitate the expansion of Bouquet Gardens, property at 315 Oakland Ave. was rezoned from high-density residential to educational/medical institution district designation.
The University purchased the parcel, which includes a house that had been used as office space, from Children’s Hospital earlier this year for nearly $1.4 million.
Pitt’s master plans are posted online at www.facmgmt.pitt.edu.
