The University Club's grand ballroom features magnificent chandeliers and Palladian windows, and the Rooftop Terrace offers breathtaking views for your cocktail hour.

As the exclusive wedding reception venue on the Pitt's campus, The University Club enjoys a unique partnership with Heinz Chapel. If you say “I Do” at Heinz Chapel, and reserve The University Club for your reception, your ceremony fee at the Chapel will be waived.

A Sacred Space, Sustained

When Charles Connick designed the 23 stained glass windows that fill Heinz Chapel with color, he incorporated recycled glass among the 250,000 individual pieces of glass used throughout the Chapel. That was decades before "sustainability" was a word anyone used on a college campus. It turns out the instinct to make something beautiful last was there from the beginning.

That instinct still guides us. Caring for a nearly century-old chapel means choosing restoration over replacement, thoughtfulness over waste, and stewardship over convenience for everyone who walks through these doors long after we're gone.
