Highlights Around Campus
CCAC is more than just a place to study, it's a place to find community. At CCAC, we believe that life outside the classroom is an important part of your college experience. Each CCAC campus has a variety of activities and places to enhance your lifestyle. Here you'll learn a little bit about some of our favorite places around CCAC!
Social Spaces
There are many spots around campus where you can unwind with your classmates, take a quick study break, or just enjoy the sights around campus! Check out our new maps below to find your new hangout spot for the year.
Nature Trails
Looking for a way to relax? Lace up your hiking boots and enjoy the trails in Southwestern Allegheny County. Enjoy the scenic trails in the area while doing, fun hiking activities such as geocaching, exploring and much more. Hiking up hills-some of which are steep and strenuous-is a feature of almost every hike.
Community Garden
The garden is a sustainable way to use the land on campus for the benefit of many people and for the environment. It is a wellness initiative offering a free source of fresh vegetables for consumption by students, faculty and staff. In addition, some of the produce is donated to the South Campus Cupboard.
Starbucks
Need to refuel? Starbucks is the perfect place for a quick bite to eat and a study session! For a great specialty coffee and signature favorites, stop on down.
