Hearst Foundations are giving a $150,000 grant to RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf to help fund construction of Sebastian & Lenore Rosica Hall.
Rosica Hall, expected to be completed this fall, will be a two-story, 23,000-square foot, state-of-the-art facility designed to foster innovation, entrepreneurship and original research among deaf and hard-of-hearing students and their hearing peers.
This is the latest gift from The Hearst Foundations to the college. More than $350,000 has been gifted to the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship for Financially Underserved Students at NTID, and $20,000 for a library addition.
In recognition of the donation, a space in the building will be named for the foundation.
The new building is designed to house a variety of innovative projects, including those relating to healthcare technology and services, development and adaptation of access and instructional technologies and innovative cross-disciplinary projects involving science, engineering, imaging and business-related fields.
