It is home to [[The Creative School]] (formerly the Faculty of Communication and Design) and its departments, including the [[RTA School of Media]]. Completed in 1992, it is located at 80 Gould Street in downtown [[Toronto]], [[Canada]].
The RCC is home to 3 [[High-definition television|high-definition]] television studios, as well as multiple audio recording and video editing suites. The building is home to the [[Allan Slaight|Allan Slaight Radio Institute]]. The building is also home to the newsrooms for ''[[The Eyeopener]]'' and ''[[On the Record (newspaper)|On the Record]]'', the university's two student-run newspapers.
In November 2018, The Creative School opened a new Creative Research Centre, known as the Catalyst, on the 2nd floor of the building.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Catalyst, Ryerson's newest creative research centre, opens in the RCC|url=https://theeyeopener.com/2018/11/the-catalyst-ryersons-newest-creative-research-centre-opens-in-the-rcc/|access-date=2020-09-27|website=The Eyeopener|language=en-US}}</ref>
The building is not directly sponsored by [[Rogers Communications]], although its naming is the result of a personal $12.5 million contribution to the university by that company's longtime owner, [[Edward Samuel Rogers|Ted Rogers]], and his wife Loretta in honour of Ted's father, communications pioneer [[Edward S. Rogers, Sr.]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tedrogersschool.ca/about/ted-rogers-bio/|title=Ted Rogers Bio|author=Ryerson University|accessdate=2013-01-07|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104193226/http://tedrogersschool.ca/about/ted-rogers-bio/|archivedate=2011-11-04}}</ref>
The building is connected to [[Kerr Hall|Kerr Hall South and East]] via a pedestrian bridge over Church Street, connecting the second floors of both buildings.
