Access Basics

• To swipe into the RWC, you must get to floor 5. Enter O’Hara Street on floor 1 and take the express elevators to floor 5 for access.
  • After the construction dust settles, you will be able to use Panther Run (stairs) on the East side of the building or enter from upper campus directly into floor 5.
• Have your Pitt ID (or mobile credentials) and place them on the turnstile.  If you are an enrolled student, the turnstiles will open.
• If you have any questions, or the turnstile does not open, see one of the attendants at the desk for assistance.
