The Best in Climate Controlled Self Storage

Complete climate control addresses both temperature and humidity . Extremes in temperature can literally bake or freeze your belongings, causing permanent damage. Moist air can lead to mold and rot, while air that’s too dry can cause cracking or warping. Wide swings from one environmental extreme to another can cause damage just by themselves.

Pittsburgh Self Storage Designed With Climate Control in Mind

Unlike other Pittsburgh self storage options, every unit in Center City Self Storage is fully climate controlled for both temperature and humidity. City Center Self Storage operates out of the renovated Pittsburgh Terminal Warehouse property, which was originally designed to store merchandise in transit. When the facility was built over 100 years ago, modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems did not exist.  Turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh storage tenants valued safe, climate-controlled storage. Innovative architects rose to the challenge, employing low-tech, high-efficiency materials and design principles.


For instance, the three layers of brick making up our exterior walls provide natural insulation from heat and cold. Our floor plans are long and wide, allowing lots of interior spaces to be tucked safely away in the middle of the building. Steam heat runs throughout the building from an on-site power plant, eliminating the dryness that comes with forced-air systems. Heat naturally rises to the upper floors, while our ground floor bays are supplied with supplemental heaters. 

We are the only Pittsburgh self storage facility where all of the units are naturally climate controlled.

All of these elements are still at work today, providing excellent, energy-effi
cient climate control throughout the building. We then added some modern touches to make our environment the ideal Pittsburgh self storage solution. We replaced the building’s original windows with modern, thermal glass to limit temperature fluctuations. We installed digital temperature and humidity monitors throughout the storage areas that constantly track changes and alert us to potential problems.   

When looking for safe, fully climate controlled Pittsburgh storage units, City Center Self Storage is your best option.
