The SHED is a dynamic, 218,000 SF complex that centralizes RIT’s multidisciplinary focus on creativity and innovation. It is a building with no precedent, envisioned by university leadership as a “supercollider of ideas.” The building combines engineering team workspace, maker spaces, performing arts, active-style classrooms, and the main library. The building is a microcosm of RIT – where visitors can immediately understand the institution’s unique blend of arts and engineering.
