On Friday, the 91porn视频 announced that its Community Engagement Center (CEC) in Greater Hazelwood will be among the organizations housed in a local nonprofit organization鈥檚 expansive neighborhood hub.

The CECs are a part of the University鈥檚 , Pitt鈥檚 long-term, place-based partnerships with local communities, in which all 17 schools and a variety of academic centers and business units are involved. The University already operates CECs in Homewood and the Hill District.

Like Pitt鈥檚 other CECs, will include community-driven programming and services, including educational opportunities in STEM for children, workforce development programs and increased resource development and sharing.

The new CEC will be housed within a new headquarters being constructed by Center of Life, a neighborhood nonprofit organization that offers a bevy of services, programming and community enrichment efforts to residents.

Center of Life鈥檚 127,000-square-foot headquarters, which will be built on 5.3 acres of land on a former steel mill site on Hazelwood Green, will offer science, technology, engineering, arts and math instruction as well as wellness programming, a gym, an early learning center, a health clinic and more.

In addition to the University鈥檚 new CEC, the Center of Life hub is expected to house the Green Building Alliance, Primary Care Health Services Inc. and the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center, all of which are expected to have a presence in the new multiuse facility.
