Quad Planning Study

Parts of the Quad are nearly 60 years old and are in need of renovation and upgrade. RISD has hired the architectural firm of NADAAA to study the Quad block and make recommendations for future renovations and possible new construction. The Quad holds a special place in the hearts of many in the RISD community, and the study team wants to hear abut our collective experiences, hopes and dreams for the Quad’s next 60 years. They especially want to hear from students about their experiences living in and interacting with Quad-based resources (housing, dining, fitness center, health and counseling services, etc.).
