In 1963, the Notre Dame campus was built and the college name was changed to the Manitoba Institute of Technology (MIT). Half the campus was an arts and science complex, operating under the separate name Manitoba Institute of Applied Arts (MIAA). The two halves consolidated to a single name: Red River Community College (RRCC) in 1969. In 1998, it was renamed to "Red River College of Applied Arts, Science, and Technology", or Red River College.<ref>{{cite web|title=Manitoba Historical Society|url=http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/organization/redrivercollege.shtml|access-date=30 June 2024}}</ref>

In 2004, the Princess Street Campus was built in [[Downtown Winnipeg]], with a large focus on multimedia design, computer technology, and the popular Creative Communications program, which prepares students for careers in [[advertising]], [[journalism]], media production, and [[public relations]].

In 2011, the Princess Street Campus was renamed to the Roblin Centre in honour of former [[Premier of Manitoba|Manitoba Premier]] [[Duff Roblin]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Red River campus honours Duff Roblin|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/red-river-campus-honours-duff-roblin-1.1009445|publisher=CBC|access-date=3 August 2012|date=28 February 2011}}</ref> The Roblin Centre, together with the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute is now known as the Exchange District Campus.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bellamy|first=Brent|title=Downtown's status symbol|url=http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/downtowns-status-symbol-96275593.html|publisher=Winnipeg Free Press|access-date=3 August 2012|date=14 June 2010}}</ref>

On July 4, 2012, the college discontinued over the air broadcasting of student radio station [[CKIC-FM|92.9 Kick FM]] after nearly 10 years of broadcasting, due to a campus radio policy change by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Kick FM drops on-air broadcasts|url=http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Kick-FM-drops-on-air-broadcasts-161257495.html|publisher=Winnipeg Free Press|access-date=3 August 2012|date=7 March 2012}}</ref>
