Chatham University’s Shadyside campus is located on a 39-acre arboretum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s historic East End.
Home to 2,300 undergraduate and graduate students, the institution’s physical footprint is comprised of several modern
structures, as well as a number of architecturally significant mansions constructed in the early years of the 20th century.
“The new Karndean floor has an authentic look that meshes with the historic architecture of the residence hall. It really
looks like wood, and has allowed us to cut back significantly on floor maintenance. In addition, the floor is environmentally
friendly, and qualified Chatham for LEED points. Chatham is a charter signatory of the President’s Climate Commitment,
so using sustainable materials is important in our product choices.”
