All University buildings will be closed for the holiday break starting Dec. 21, and operations will resume on Jan. 2. Many buildings will have adjusted hours Dec. 18-20 to reflect reduced campus activity during student winter recess.

Residence halls: All residence halls will close at noon on Dec. 19 and reopen at 9 a.m. on Jan. 5.

Campus recreation: All facilities will be closed Dec. 21 through Jan. 2.

Dining: Many eateries will be closed Dec. 18-Jan. 2. See the food service hours of operation for locations with limited hours across campus.

Health services: Pitt Student Health Services and University Pharmacy will be closed Dec. 21-Jan. 2. The University Counseling Center will also be closed during these dates, but anyone in need of support can call 412-648-7930.
