Description

The Nationality Rooms are located on the first and third floors of the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning. The rooms were designed to represent the culture of various ethnic groups that settled in Allegheny County and are supported by these cultural groups and governments.  There are 29 rooms included and these are some of the beautiful windows you will find here.  The rooms are also furnished with desks or tables and the interiors (walls, floors, ceilings, light fixtures) all incorporate the theme of whatever culture is being represented.  These rooms are also actually used for classes and we came across some students using them to study in.

Here is a list of some of the countries and cultures:
Polish                    Lithuanian
Irish                      Romanian
Swedish                 Chinese
Greek                     Scottish
Yugoslav                 Syris-Lebanon
English                    French
Norwegian               Russian
Czechoslovak           Italian
German                   Hungarian
Indian                     Early American
African                     Israel
Turkish                     Ukranian
Welsh                       Austrian
Japanese                   Armenian
Swiss

There are also planned Korean, Phillipine, Finnish, Moroccan, and Iranian rooms in the works.
