The new RIT research building is in its final construction phase with exterior work nearly complete and interior design set to begin. Structural work that started in early 2022 is expected to be complete by fall 2024 with move-in of several campus research teams by the new year.

Preliminary construction of a modern research facility has been underway since mid-summer. The RIT Research Building, on the southwest side of campus near R Lot, will provide more laboratory space in science, computing, and engineering.
