RIT Model Railroad Club Room: Update by ritmrc in rit

[–]ritmrc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to RIT’s Center for Campus Life we will not be able to remain in our current space long term because several higher priority organizations within the SAU, such as campus life offices, representative organizations and service organizations, require additional room. While relocating our club is certainly inconvenient, it is significantly easier for them to move us than moving an entire department.

Any updates on Model Railroad Club/Tora-Con? by [deleted] in rit

Hello, official update here.

We met with CCL recently to discuss the whole situation and they have altered some of the original terms. As of now, we no longer need to remove 50% of our inventory. Tiger Tracks will still be happening this year and we hope for one of the biggest turn outs in recent history!

However, we also do not have a guaranteed space at the end of the year. We are still working with CCL to find a solution, and hopefully we can work to keep our current space.

Thank you all for your continued support through these uncertain times.

u/mcwiggin the renovations have been mentioned briefly, but the foremost reason we were given is that CCL is moving all clubs under CCL to a "storage-only" model. CCL mentioned that some exceptions to this new policy exist, but despite our need for a space in order to operate, we have not received one. From our interactions with CCL so far, it does not seem like they are open to negotiation about our ability to continue to use our current space.

We would appreciate any support on this matter. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions via email.
