RIT Campus Plan

The RIT Campus Plan envisions a physical Rochester Institute of Technology campus that supports and furthers the strategic plan mission—a place that will support academic excellence, foster diverse student life, exemplify environmental and social sustainability, and be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible. The plan sets forth a vision for the future of the campus that further strengthens RIT’s brand as a leader and innovator. The campus will be a connective one that facilitates cross-disciplinary interaction, buzzes with 24-hour life, and projects a distinct physical image that will celebrate RIT’s uniqueness: its collection of significant architecture, old and new; its landscape setting; its considerable land holdings; and its connections to the community and the city of Rochester.

The plan focused on increasing density on campus to achieve six goals: sustainability; vibrant campus life; student success; connectivity; reduced emissions; and safety.

The campus landscape will become a defining characteristic of RIT as the fabric that forms a cohesive environment. Surrounding the core, natural green spaces—woodlands, creeks and wetlands—define the campus context.
