VIGNELLI CENTER FOR DESIGN STUDIES

Next to the James E. Booth Hall, a new center for design education has been constructed. The Vignelli Center for Design Studies houses a complete archive of designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli. The center has classrooms, staff offices, display space, and a retail shop for books and goods by the Vignellis.

THE PROVINCE

Equipped with a brand new streetlight, the Province opened this August across from RIT, but as a separate entity. This luxury student housing offers an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and tanning bed for residents to use.

GLOBAL VILLAGE MARKET

A new go-to place for spices, food and products, especially for those with a taste for ethnic food. Typical American fare is also for sale, including sustainable New York state products like cheeses and produce.

GLOBAL VILLAGE PLAZA

A multi-use space featuring heated outdoor seating for patrons on chilly days. The plaza’s stage will be repurposed as an outdoor ice skating rink during the winter.

GLOBAL VILLAGE LIVING SPACES

414 furnished residential spaces are available. Similar to the dorms, it will be locked 24/7 with ID card access required, providing an added level of security.

ENTREPRENEURS HALL

The hall is a program where students work on a minor in entrepreneurship and live in a community together. Only sophomores and juniors with a GPA of 2.8 or higher can apply. It is a holistic way to develop business, creative and technological ideas for students.

HUB PRINT CENTER AND POST OFFICE

After its relocation from Crossroads, the HUB will be updated with computers and the latest software. It will continue to provide printing, binding and mounting services and will sell general school and office supplies. The Post Office will allow students to access their mail 24/7 and utilize Tiger Bucks, cash, credit, and debit to ship packages.

BETTER ME WELLNESS CENTER

This center will offer opportunities for employees to help improve their health through exercise, fitness classes, and Weight Watchers at Work.
