The campus also has a Print Shoppe, library and student parking lots as well as cafeterias.

The Red River College Students' Association (RRCSA) operates a convenience store at the Notre Dame Campus called "The Ox" which offers chips, drinks, health and beauty, chocolate bars, gum, lottery, cigarettes, as well as baked goods from Tall Grass Prairie Bakery, bubble tea, bus passes, hot dogs and reverse-osmosis water.[9]

Red River College's Roblin Centre atrium

Located at 160 Princess Street in Winnipeg's Exchange District, the Roblin Centre (formerly known as the Princess Street Campus)[10] is home to approximately 200 staff and 2,000 students.[11] The Centre has a focus on modern media, information technology, and business.[11]

The 220,000-square-foot (20,000 m²)[12] building features the original façades along Princess Street, and incorporates modern green building technology. The Roblin Centre's construction merged five prominent heritage buildings on Princess Street as well as a 1905 warehouse on William Avenue.[13] The merging of these buildings incorporates a former lane into the current Atrium.[13] Many of the architectural features of the original buildings, such as wood columns, floors, brickwork, millwork, and windows were restored and incorporated into the new structure.[14]

The Roblin Centre has a building energy management system and is the largest C-2000* building in Canada.[15] The Centre was completed before the advent of LEED Certification in Canada, but the environmental performance of this project would put it at the level of LEED Gold or Platinum.[12] The Centre was the largest Canadian project to date involving extensive material re-use, and incorporates a 34 kW building-integrated photovoltaic system which was the largest of its kind at the time of installation.[12]

The Roblin Centre features fitness facilities, Campus Store, a library and a full-service Tim Hortons.[16]

Similar to "The Ox" at the Notre Dame Campus, the RRCSA operates a convenience store at the Roblin Centre called "The Mercantile" which offers chips, drinks, health and beauty, chocolate bars, gum, lottery, cigarettes, as well as baked goods from Tall Grass Prairie Bakery, bubble tea, bus passes and hot dogs.[9]

Paterson GlobalFoods Institute

The Paterson GlobalFoods Institute is the home of the Culinary Arts, Hospitality and Tourism Management and Professional Baking and Patisserie programs. Located in the Exchange District, the Institute was completed in January 2013.[17][18][19]

In May 2009, the Government of Canada pledged the college with $9.5-million of funding to help reconstruct the Union Bank Building at the corner of Main Street and William Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. The Manitoba government also announced it would contribute $5-million for the construction of the building.[20][21]

The Institute is located in the Union Bank Building in Winnipeg's Exchange District, an 11-storey building that dates back to 1903.[19] The 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m²)[22] institute provides classroom and kitchen space and two restaurants on the first three floors, as well as residence for 103 students on the floors above.[19][23] The renovation is expected to cost $34 million, up from the initial $27 million estimate,[19] and involved the addition of two new glass fronted structures adjacent to the existing Union Bank Building.[23] The new adjacent structures were required for the project, as the tower itself could not house the necessary heating and cooling systems.[24] The Union Bank Tower is the last skyscraper of this vintage remaining in Canada,[22] and had been sitting vacant since 1992.[24]

The official newspaper of Red River College is "The Projector", which is published by the Red River College Students’ Association every second Monday. The Projector has been the official Red River College student newspaper since 1967.[28]

The Projector is a member of CUP.

Until December 2012, Red River College students operated "Prairie Lights", a fine dining restaurant at the Notre Dame Campus.[29] The restaurant featured full service lunch and dinner menus from September to November and March to May. The evening program featured flambé service and was licensed for alcohol service.[29][30] The restaurant provided practical experience to the students of the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management programs, and also functioned as a catering room for the Food Services Department for private functions. The restaurant was open to the public.[29] In December 2012, the restaurant closed, with plans to move the program to Jane's, a fine dining restaurant at the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute.[31]

The restaurants in the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute opened to the public in early 2013. The Culinary Exchange café opened on 15 January 2013, and Jane's opened 21 February 2013.[32]

Students in Red River College's Creative Communications program run an online radio station known as "Red River Radio".[33] The radio station is an opportunity for students to host, program and produce both music and news/talk format radio, and features music and talk shows, as well as news, sports, and weather.[34]

Launched on August 24, 2012,[33] the online radio station replaces the over-the-air local radio station formerly run by the College, 92.9 Kick FM.[35] The online station follows similar format to the discontinued broadcast station, with 24-hour programming and a focus on local indie rock and folk bands.[35]

Red River College operates a yearly Business and Applied Arts conference called "Directions".[36] The conference promotes networking between current students and potential employers, and features a roundtable event with representatives from career areas such as Accounting, Finance, Creative Arts, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, Information Technology, Sales and Marketing, and Management.[36]
