EMPAC
EMPAC construction is concentrated on Rensselaer’s Troy campus on 8th Street. All current work on the building is confined to the limits of site construction within the fenced enclosure. Efforts continue to maintain clear, unobstructed and safe passage on 8th Street and College Avenue with clean streets around the immediate project site.

Pedestrians ascending the hill from the informal Fulton Street footpath will continue to be diverted around the site until work is completed.
Congress & Ferry Corridor
Rensselaer is pleased to be collaborating with the City, the County and the Troy Housing Authority to advance the vision for development of the Congress & Ferry Streets corridor.
