Facilities
Select facilities are open for use by RIT community members. Wear your mask, watch your distance, wash your hands, and adhere to posted signage.
Study and Social Spaces
Wallace Library
Wallace Library has reconfigured library spaces, modified access to special collections, and added online reference consultations. Library materials will be quarantined before they are recirculated.
Ritter Arena
The Frank Ritter Ice Arena was converted into a large study, dining, and socializing area: tall drapery is used to section off different “rooms” on the rink floor—a lounge/dining area, stage, large study space, and gaming area. COVID-19 alert levels will determine seating capacity in the different spaces.
Fitness
Recreation facilities are available for classes, intramurals, intercollegiate athletics, student clubs and organizations, and some open recreation opportunities. Bathrooms, locker rooms, and locker rentals are available, but you must bring your own towel and lock. Locker rentals are available at the Student Life Center (SLC) Main Office during business hours or at the SLC Equipment Cage during nights and weekends. In addition, students, faculty, and staff can stay engaged with RIT’s virtual walking, running, and cycling community through Strava.
