Finest Facilities
RIT's students have unmatched opportunities for hands-on learning, utilizing some of the most sophisticated classroom, laboratory, and studio equipment available anywhere.
There's no question that we have one of the most sophisticated, high-tech campuses in the world, and we stay ahead of the curve by continually upgrading our campus infrastructure. Our network is accessible in classrooms, labs, residence halls, apartments, and many common areas around campus, with newer Gigabit Ethernet installations also in the mix. Wireless access is available in all academic areas and most public areas across campus. With multiple-connectivity ISPs, access to the Internet2® research network, a university-owned and -operated Dense Wave Division multiplexing network, and an 8-million-foot fiber-optic backbone, we provide free, direct, high-speed computing access that is hard to beat anywhere. In fact, The Princeton Review consistently ranks RIT among the most connected campuses in the country.

A welcoming environment

The physical beauty of the campus comes from an interplay of natural and park-like settings with modern buildings, architectural features, and artwork prominently on display. Outdoor spaces in the heart of campus, such as our Eastman Kodak Quad, feature gardens, benches, sculptures, reflecting pools, accent lighting, and open areas for academic and social events.

Comfortable spaces throughout campus such as the Bates Study Center in the College of Science, Erdle Commons in the Gleason College of Engineering, Ben & Jerry’s in the Student Alumni Union, and Java Wally’s coffeehouse offer places to relax or work on projects and team assignments.
In short, you’ll find outstanding academic and community facilities in every area of campus, and our commitment to student success ensures that these facilities are accessible when you need them.
