The University Club, designed by renown architect Henry Hornbostel, is an eight-story building owned by the University of Pittsburgh. Completed in 1923, it is a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District.

The University Club began as a private social club in 1890, originally located in downtown Pittsburgh. It later moved to Oakland to be closer to the city’s burgeoning college campuses, settling into the 1923 Hornbostel classical-style limestone building. After the Club ceased operations in November 2004, the University of Pittsburgh purchased the building for $3.1 million in 2005 for use as a faculty and staff club, conference center, and banquet and event facility.

Following the acquisition of the University Club, the University of Pittsburgh conducted a $20.2 million renovation. This renovation incorporated all floors, including housing on the upper floors. The building features a grand lobby with a curved staircase, a ballroom with a 600-pound crystal chandelier, tall ceilings, library, and 10-foot-tall windows with sweeping views of the University campus. The lower floors became a 4,000-square-foot faculty club, 4,000-square-foot fitness center, 18,000-square-foot conference and banquet facility, 4,000-square-foot kitchen facility, coffee shop, and 8,000 square feet of offices. All renovations were completed and the Club reopened on April 1, 2009. The upper floors were converted in 2023 to become Pitt’s newest on-campus residence hall, known at University Hall. It houses 81 upper-class students in 48 single- and double-bedroom units, each featuring a private bathroom. Laundry facilities and a community kitchen are available in the building for all residents
