Naming Opportunities
Imagine a unique, awe-inspiring facility that not only encourages exploration by the intellectually curious but fully supports it. Transforming the Library into the Center for RIT Culture and Information Services will require investing in and expanding our services.
As a center for campus information, the library facility currently supports undergraduate students, graduate researchers and faculty scholarship; It needs a state-of-the- art teleconferencing center; fully-equipped presentation practice rooms; themed-based collaborative meeting rooms, and an off-site- high density book storage facility that allows us to expand holdings for graduate and faculty research.
The library as cultural center currently houses the Cary Collection, the RIT Archives, RIT Museum and RIT’s Special Collections; but all of these areas require expanded facilities to appropriate house their collections. Additionally, the library needs your support to sponsor library events and speaker series; host international traveling exhibits of interest to the entire Rochester community; create a high-tech media hub in the lobby featuring up-to-the-minute international news broadcasts housed in a two story atrium and assist the home of the university’s publishing venue, the Lawson Center, to be a working laboratory that employs student interns;
RIT Libraries will recognize the commitment you as a donor to enrich the lives of our students by naming rooms, events, structures, collections or scholarships in your honor. The following naming opportunities exist in the Library:
