History

Growing and changing for more than 40 years

Every year, WSCC grows and changes – just like the Pittsburgh region.

We are based in what was once a public elementary school. When the building closed after 50 years, it didn’t take long for local residents to start thinking about how it could serve people of all ages. Soon Pittsburgh’s eastern communities had a new nonprofit – and a new place for learning and creating.

We’ve been providing meaningful and affordable experiences for Pittsburgh-area residents for more than 40 years. Be a part of our next chapter!
