HENRIETTA, N.Y. — News10NBC got a behind-the-scenes look Tuesday at Rochester Institute of Technology’s new Student Hall for Exploration and Development.

RIT calls the new facility the “Shed.”

The 209,000-square-foot building will feature studios, practice rooms, lounges, a 185-seat theater and more.

“RIT is a place where students, they dream, they design, and they build, they make things — and most of that making historically has been hidden behind our brick walls. And we wanted to bring that front and center in a building that is very wide open.” RIT President David Munson said.

RIT also broke ground on a new 1,500-seat music hall this year. That project is expected to wrap up in 2025.
