What could RCC’s campuses look like over the next three to five years? Come take a look at the ideas taking shape and tell us what you think!
As part of RCC’s District-Wide Facilities Master Plan, Opsis Architecture and ORW Architecture have been working with the college since early summer to better understand the needs of our campuses and the people who use them every day.
Through a series of Needs Assessment workshops, faculty, staff, students and other members of the RCC community have helped identify critical facility needs and opportunities that will support the college’s mission and our ability to serve students and our communities well into the future.
Now we’re ready to share what we’ve heard so far.
Based on that input, Opsis has developed initial concepts for each campus looking ahead over the next three to five years. These are still draft ideas, which makes this an especially important time to stop by, see what is being considered and share your thoughts, questions and perspectives.
During Week of Welcome, Mark Stoller and Erica Dunn from Opsis Architecture will join us at all of our Ice Cream Social and Italian Soda Bar events. They’ll have displays showing the needs identified through the planning process and the initial development concepts for our campuses.
Come visit them at:
- Tuesday – RWC Student Center: Ice Cream Social & Italian Soda Bar, 1–4 p.m.
- Wednesday – TRC A Building Atrium: Ice Cream Social & Italian Soda Bar, 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
- Thursday – RVC HEC lobby: Ice Cream Social & Italian Soda Bar, 12–3 p.m.
Grab an ice cream or Italian soda, take a few minutes to look over the concepts, and tell us what you think! What resonates with you? What might be missing? What should we be thinking about as we plan for RCC’s future?
And while you’re there, be sure to say hello to our students and encourage them to stop by and share their feedback, too. Students experience our campuses in ways that differ from those of faculty and staff, and their voices are an important part of creating a Facilities Master Plan that reflects the needs of our entire RCC community.
Your perspective matters. Please stop by, enjoy a treat, see what’s being considered and help us shape the future of RCC’s campuses!
