Campus Life
RIT is committed to offering a vibrant student experience while staying healthy and safe on campus.
Event Safety Guidelines
To better protect the RIT community, large-scale indoor public events will have additional safety requirements. These guidelines will be revisited periodically and revised, depending on public health concerns and warnings. The current guidelines cover masking, food served at events, and vaccination requirements.
Outdoor Stage
A 24-foot outdoor stage has been set up near the Gordon Field House, where performing arts, local artists, comedy, and more will be entertaining up to 500 students at a time. Student organizations can also request time on the stage, including small groups involved in performing arts.
Inflatable Screen
Two 13-by-20-foot inflatable screens will be used to showcase movies, trivia, video games, and more from dusk to dawn for up to 150 students at each location. At least one of the screens will be between the Student Life Center and Gordon Field House for the College Activities Board’s weekly movie series—with multiple showings for each movie.
Ritter Arena Reimagined
Study and relax
Wallace Library is temporarily relocating to Ritter Arena while the library building is under construction. The circulating collection, public computers and printing, a fully staffed Circulation Desk, and a library instruction space will be available in the rink area. A variety of seating along the perimeter and on the mezzanine will give students options for individual or group study.
