Duquesne University gets planning go ahead to build new 12-story student housing project on Forbes

The Pittsburgh Planning Commission heard enough in the proposal from Duquesne University’s three architecture firms that it passed the university’s proposal for a 12-story student housing project at 1045 Forbes Avenue with no debate.

The commission voted unanimously to approve the project after the university and its development team, which included Design Collective, as the lead design firm, along with Strip District-based Indovina Associates Architects and LaQuatra Bonci Associates as the landscape architect, had briefed them on the plan two weeks ago.

The project is slated for what is now a surface parking lot between Duquesne’s Power Center building and its new College of Osteopathic Medicine currently under construction along Forbes Avenue.
