The building, and what’s around
We share the building with our great partners at Open Space Programming, MIT Admissions, Office of Sustainability, Environmental Solutions Initiative, and J-WAFS.
We are situated next to a beautiful new open space, and across the way from the new location of the MIT Museum and MIT Press Bookstore. So you have plenty to do and explore as part of your visit. Crucially, from the perspective of our visitors, we are now directly atop the inbound Kendall/MIT Red Line stop.

Getting to and from campus
The Red Line is almost certainly how you should get to campus! Or you could walk, or bike, or take a bus, or maybe a taxi/rideshare, if necessary.
By Car : there is public parking next door at the 25 Hayward Street underground garage, and other public lots in Kendall Square. We strongly encourage you to park further out on the Red Line (i.e., at Alewife, South Station, etc.) and ride in from there. In addition to being faster, cheaper, and better for the environment, you can conveniently visit many other colleges along the way!
