Amos Hall
Amos Hall houses nine sororities, each floor houses a separate sorority. There are 152 upperclass women residents living in sorority suites which feature a kitchen, bathrooms, living room, and chapter room. Laundry facilities are in the penthouse. Amos Hall also features a fitness center that is available to all residents of Schenley Quadrangle. In November 2008, Pitt approved a $9.1 million renovation of Amos Hall which included air conditioning, updated energy-efficient electrical and water systems, and new bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens that were redesigned to be compatible with the pre-existing architectural structure. Completed and reopened for the 2009 fall term, the input of each sorority gave every floor its own style.
A PNC Bank branch on the street level of the building offers student banking services and an 24-hour ATM.
The building is named for the University's dean of women from 1919 to 1941, Thrysa W. Amos.

Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
