Construction Has Commenced
It's been over 20 years since South Hills High School closed its doors as a public high school in Pittsburgh. Now, through the efforts of a.m. Rodriguez Associates this 1917 structure is being brought back to life.
When completed in late 2010, the building will house the new South Hills Retirement Residence, a facility with 106 apartments for seniors, 80% of which are set aside for individuals with incomes below 60% of the area median income. A neighborhood YMCA facility, an early childhood education program and an alumni room are planned for those areas that were originally the gymnasiums, though the development of these areas will depend upon successfully raising additional dollars.
