At the beginning of the fall semester of 1997 Duquesne University opened a brand new Commuter Center. Located on the first floor of the Duquesne Union, the Center provides a great deal of space and several services for Duquesne's commuting population. The Commuter Center is just one example of Duquesne's continuing commitment to commuter students.
The main area includes offices for the Commuter Affairs staff including the Director, Secretary and Graduate Assistant.

The Lounge area includes comfortable furniture, a big screen television, refrigerator and microwave ovens.

Other features of the Commuter Center include the following:

• Lobby Area for programming
• Quiet Study Room
• Computer Lab with 20 work stations
• Commuter Affairs Office
• Commuter Council Office
• History Pictures of Duquesne University
• Commuter Conference Center

We hope that the Commuter Center will become your "home away from home." Spending time in the Commuter Center is a great way to meet other commuting students and find out what's happening at Duquesne. It is just a great place to rest and relax in between classes.

A History of Duquesne University

Students who enter the main hallway area of the Commuter Center will be offered a free history lesson regarding Duquesne University. With the assistance of the University Archives, the Office of Commuter Affairs created a unique display of how the Duquesne Campus and the City of Pittsburgh once appeared. When browsing the display you will find a small caption located below each picture which describes each photograph. Take some time out of your busy schedule to see how the Duquesne Campus has been transformed over the years.
