(There is a malicious rumor out there that the dorm where the club is located, Davison, is scheduled to be torn down. This is NOT true - RPI spent a lot of money two years ago to install a sprinkler system and this last year redid the main electrical wiring into the building. All of the so-called freshmen dorms are a decade or two older and nowhere as solid construction.)

Visiting The Layout

Open houses are infrequent and have become a low priority for this student-run club. On the other hand, we do continue to develop this website as a way we CAN share the layout with everyone at all times.

However, for the hour before our weekly meeting each Wednesday at 8 pm (in other words, from 7 to 8), we have a mini-open house (when school is in session). These open houses are limited to a total of 10 (ten) people (sorry, no one under 14). Admission is free, but trains may not be running and the place will generally be a "work-in-progress" (i.e., a mess). However, these open houses are RESERVATION ONLY. To reserve for a specific date, please contact us at nehrij at rpi.edu.
