Troy Building

The Troy Building was built with funds raised by the citizens of Troy to commemorate the centennial of the Institute in 1924. The brick and limestone building, completed in 1925, housed the civil engineering department. Over the years the building became home to several other functions including the Dean of Students office. The student life functions that had been scattered in various buildings were eventually pulled into this common location.

The Troy Building was one of the first buildings to be completed in Rensselaer's plan to renovate its green roofed campus. It was reopened in August 1997. The Registrar, Dean of Students, Office of Minority Student Affairs, President, Provost, and Finance office were moved to this location. The second floor has three interactive classrooms, one of which is a classroom in the round known as the Collaborative Classroom.
