University Place Office Building

University Place Office Building was a 6-story building constructed in 1924[1][3] and had been a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District[4][5] on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

University Office Place was demolished in August 2011, following the approval from the Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission, to make way for a new $59 million, 10-story, 559-bed university residence hall, named Nordenberg Hall that was designed by Mackey Mitchell Architects of St. Louis along with the Pittsburgh-based firm MacLachlan, Cornelius & Filoni Inc.[12] Nordenberg Hall, which opened for the 2013 fall semester, occupies the former footprints of 121 University Place and its former adjacent parking lot at the corner of Fifth Avenue and University Place.

Former University Office Place resident UCSUR was relocated to the Gold Building (3343 Forbes Ave).

[16][17] The residence hall features 200-square-foot (19 m2) double-occupancy rooms that are equipped with small refrigerators, microwave ovens, and flat-screen TVs.

[17] The residence hall was named in honor of Mark Nordenberg, the university's previous chancellor who retired in August, 2014.
