List of RPI buildings

[3] Additionally, the DCC is also host to a small café, and a variety of other classrooms and offices in the basement, and is directly connected to the Low Center for Industrial Innovation.

[3] The Darrin Communication Centered was officially named that in 1987 "in recognition of a lifetime of dedication, loyalty and support to Rensselaer" by trustee David M.

The basement, third, and fourth floors contain multiple studios; which open 24 hours a day for students and faculty to complete projects.

The building was named in memory of Benjamin Franklin Greene, Director of Rensselaer from 1847 to 1859, who first proposed a school of architecture at the institute.

The names of fifteen of the most renowned deceased American architects were cut in stone above the second-story windows: Bulfinch, Burnham, Goodhue, Hooker, Hunt, Jefferson, Latrobe, McComb, McIntyre, McKim, Mills, Renwick, Richardson, Sullivan, and Upjohn.

The building's renovation cost $7.5 million to transform it into the Lally School of Management and Technology, and was completed by Lee Harris Pomeroy (Class of 1954) Associates.

The referendum, which was voted on during the Grand Marshal election in April and passed with 79% of students supporting the measure, was a huge success and raised over $250,000.

Ernest J. Kump Associates was chosen to design the $3 million building and construction began in early 1965, and opened to students in May 1967.

In 1985, the Union's basement was expanded giving more room to the bookstore, and added storage space on the south side.

[6] In 1933, Palmer Ricketts initiated the construction of a building for the newly established aeronautical and metallurgical engineering courses.

The building, tentatively named Van Rensselaer Hall, was built of Harvard brick and Indiana limestone, with steel and concrete floors and heavy tile interior walls.

After his death in 1907, his wife, Olivia Slocum Sage, donated $1,000,000 to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a memorial to her late husband.

The Russell Sage Laboratory, built and equipped at a cost of $405,000, was designed by Lawlor & Haase and constructed of Harvard brick with limestone trimmings.

Russell Sage Laboratory was completely renovated in 1985 and currently houses the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

[9] In 1977, it was decided by RPI administration to replace the old computing center at Amos Eaton, and eventually settled on renovating the old chapel.

"[9] The center initially housed an IBM 3033 computing system, which allowed for RPI to become one of the most technologically advanced institutions at the time, and provided access for both students and faculty to work on assignments and research projects from different terminals both in the building and around the campus.
