Erdle Commons, a new area for students to study and gather socially, named for Jack and Norma Erdle. Their generous gift made to RIT will be commemorated with their name on a new facility, the Erdle Commons. This beautiful, glass-enclosed area serves as an informal gathering space for students and faculty at the entrance to the renovated Gleason Building. Mr. Erdle is founder and chairman of the board of Eldre Corp., headquartered in Henrietta.
