We are building a new 50,000-sq. ft. building wing dedicated to the new Global Cybersecurity Institute (GCI) that will open in the fall of 2020, helping to further establish RIT as a leader in this field. Currently, we have 27 faculty members from across RIT working to address the growing challenges in cybersecurity with an interdisciplinary approach.
