RIT complex Riverknoll to close at the end of academic year By News10NBC HENRIETTA, N.Y. — The Rochester Institute of Technology has announced that the Riverknoll complex will be closing by the end of the academic year. In a social media post Monday, RIT said continued investment in the complex “is neither feasible nor sustainable.” Therefore, it will close at the end of the spring 2027 semester. The university said it has contacted current students living at Riverknoll about the closure, and will work with returning students to help them with other housing options for the 2027-28 academic year. “We recognize that transitions like this can bring both questions and a sense of loss for a place that has been part of the RIT experience for many years,” RIT said in the post. “We are committed to supporting our students throughout this transition and will continue to share information as plans move forward.” The complex currently offers one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom townhouses, and three-bedroom townhouses for upper classmen.
