Featured BUS Station
What You Might Find at Rochy Community Room (RCR)
Located in the Rochester Borough Building, 350 Adams St, Rochester, PA 15074
RCR is part creative workspace, part hangout, part BUS testing ground.
You might find:
- brainstorming sessions
- games, movies, or music
- collaborative art or storytelling
- puzzles, LEGO builds, or shared projects
- new BUS ideas being tested and explored
Every visit is a little different.
Adams Street is closed for construction, so access is obstructed and parking limited, but no worries…
The BUS Tour will be bringing stops to your community
