For the amount of time that I have spent in this building I think that I am qualified to say that it is a fun place. There is such a broad array of things that are shoved into this building it is incredible. Public services, games, rooms and classes are held in addition to the regular college activities. Whether it be the high school swim meet, the ballet performance or a zumba class, the RB is the place to be.

Building is great. They built a long time ago and it’s still there. And it has the same smell 30 years later that it had when I was a student.

I cannot believe that they enforce a dress code upon the women students who attend this educational institution. I had an experience where I was told to lower my shorts because they were too “distracting”. This school is a joke, the people are misogynistic that work here, and these regulations for a dress code are outdated and insignificant. Tell your male employees to stop looking at my body, making a judgment, and proceeding to tell me that I’m being inappropriate. Like sir…. You’re the one being inappropriate. A male student walked in before I did with even shorter shorts, and was told nothing… Such a hypocritical staff and school.DO BETTER BYU!!?

All I can think this place is getting absolutely crushed by volleyball nerds in this building whenever we play volleyball

I never knew the Richards building had a dance studio. It was so fun to watch the dance recital. The dancers were all smiling and gave a great performance.
