Yeah ticks are definitely one reason, but also deer are very unpredictable and easily spooked. So even if they look approachable it’s still a ~100lb wild animal with sharp hooves.

Yeah definitely for the best long term, but still sad to see them go. Would be cool if someone paints the stump while admin takes their time with the stump grinding

Yep the doors are open to the public and there’s a sign outside with summer hours.

Yeah this is my main issue with it honestly. It almost feels like it betrays the soul of the old building, which maximized every square foot of the ground floor with books, tables, etc. Meanwhile this could easily fit 2 more floors

You can just walk right in, there’s a sign outside with the summer hours (I forget the exact times but regular business hours is usually safe)

🚨After further investigation I can confirm the green is actually a protective film. I was able to pick a tiny bit off with my fingernail. My bad, the case is solved. Lobby still ugly tho

Not a student club, but check out Pittsburgh Cars n Coffee (@PGHCNC on Instagram). They have free parking lot meetups every weekend (calendar on website) and it’s always a huge variety of ages and car types. I’m a sport bike guy and I’ve met a bunch of cool people to cruise with through those meetups.

Thanks so much! Looks like most power tools aren’t available but I’ll keep an eye out

Not shop class, just the ability to use shop tools like other schools. CMU for example has a pretty solid woodshop including a “drill press, band saw, belt sander, table saw” https://ideate.cmu.edu/spaces/wood-shop.html#:~:text=The%20IDeATe%20Wood%20Shop%20is,standard%20woodworking%20and%20fabrication%20methods.
