Chatham University

An arboretum in Shadyside

Chatham University’s Shadyside Campus is one of the most idyllic locations in the City of Pittsburgh. The campus dates to 1869, and includes elements of the original Andrew Mellon estate. It is home to a 32-acre arboretum.

The Trees of Chatham University

Featuring more than 115 different varieties of trees, including Japanese flowering crabapple, river birch, Kentucky coffeetree, and eleven species of maple, the Arboretum is an inviting place to stroll or to meditate. Being such a unique resource, it provides an outdoor classroom suitable for any age or interest—from younger students on class trips, to visiting scientists, to the university’s own students.
