Is there a prayer room on campus?
Answer
Currently, SC210 (in the Science Center on the 2nd floor) is being used as a temporary non-denominational prayer/quiet/reflection room. RVCC will identify a permanent space in Summer 2023.
The room is equipped with electrical outlets, an area rug, prayer mats, a shoe rack, a cabinet to store multi-use items and some sitting space.
