The Curriculum Center includes a library of curriculum and software materials, the Reading Clinic, a work area for students, and two computers for walk-in use. This facility was created to support the learning needs of students in the School of Education and educators in the schools. Through its Reading Clinic, the Curriculum Center provides services to those requesting diagnosis or instruction in the area of reading. In the Reading Clinic, university graduate students get first-hand experiences in assessment and instruction. Research that produces new knowledge about reading assessment and instruction is also conducted.

Intramurals and Recreation serves the needs of the University of Pittsburgh and the School of Education in three areas. First, the program satisfies student, faculty and staff needs by providing structured activities and maintaining open recreation facilities for the university population - 38,000 students, faculty and staff. Second, the program provides a unique educational/work experience for students in the School of Education. It is this second aspect of Pitt's Intramural Program which sets it apart from the rest of the country. Third, Intramurals and Recreation maintains a cost effective advantage both internally and when compared to other Institutions of similar size nationally.
