The University assisted the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy in a 10 year project to restore the Schenley Plaza. The former parking lot is now a community hub providing outdoor sitting areas, various gardens, multiple dining options, and a Victorian-style carousel. The one-acre lawn hosts various events year round including concerts, festivals, and the Pitt Pow Wow. The Porch at Schenley opened in 2011 and has been a sustainable staple ever since. Guests can enjoy meals made with herbs, produce, and honey from the restaurant’s rooftop garden and apiary. The Porch has been recognized as a Platinum Sustainable Restaurant by Sustainable PGH.
