OPDC is partnering with PittServes to organize two off-campus collection events on Saturday, July 28 and Saturday, August 11 from 10 AM - 5 PM in the Sennott Square parking lot to encourage a greener student move-out. All off-campus student renters are encouraged to bring the following items to be reused/recycled, instead of contributing to the landfill. 

Oakland Planning and Development Corporation and City Councilperson Erika Strassburger invite community members to learn more about the new apartment building, ONE on Centre (372 N Craig Street), at a public meeting. Please join us on Tuesday, July 31 at 6 PM at the Western PA School for Blind Children Early Education Center (250 N Bellefield Ave, Pgh, PA 15213).
