THE GAY & LESBIAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF PITTSBURGH ANNOUNCES NEW
LOCATION AND CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
The Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh (GLCC) is relocating
from Squirrel Hill to
210 Grant Street as of September 2009. With input from a wide range
of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LBGT) community groups and
individuals, careful consideration was given to providing a safe,
handicapped accessible, visible and attractive space with options for
parking or proximity to public transportation. With significant
renovation, the downtown location will feature a staffed reception
desk and conference rooms that will accommodate both small and large
group meetings. There will be four office spaces for other LBGT
nonprofit groups and a dedicated health services office to expand men
and women's health care screenings and to provide prevention care.
Also included will be a serving kitchen, a kitchenette, the largest
LBGT library in Western Pennsylvania, a gallery-style art exhibit
space, comfortable socializing areas including a pool table, and Wi-Fi
internet access.
Renovations are underway at the new centralized location, which will
position the GLCC to better serve all Pittsburghers.
Costs for the renovation are estimated to exceed $150,000. An initial
leadership gift from the Delta Foundation and ongoing support by the
Lambda Foundation have enhanced the newly established Robert M.
Eppinger Memorial Fund for renovations needed to the new location.
Additionally, the Marshall Singer fund will support the creation of an
art exhibit space. A capital campaign has been initiated by the GLCC
Board of directors to cover the remainder of the costs. Included are
opportunities to name space in honor of a friend, partner, mentor or
special occasion with a generous gift. For further information contact
Gary McKillop (quickkey@live.com or 412-727-0400), GLCC Director of
Development.
