Directions for getting to MIT

More detailed directions: 

 

The House_n research group is in One Cambridge Center, next to the Kendall T-stop. Specifically, we are on the north side of Main Street. The map below shows House_n (red x) relative to the Kendall T stop, off of main street. You'll notice a square courtyard next to the T - that's in front of the Marriott. The building next to the Marriott has a bank, and then next to that "One Cambridge Center."

Enter into the lobby and sign-in with the front desk. Tell them that you are there to visit MIT House_n on the 4th floor and give them the name and phone number of the person you are coming to visit. 

Parking: 

Cambridge is not an easy place to park early to mid-day on weekdays. Your best bet is to take public transportation to Kendall Square. However, if you must drive, there are metered spots that can sometimes be located in the general area if you are extremely lucky. 

If you arrive after about 3pm or on a weekend, however, parking is easy. The map below shows House_n (red x), but also the Sloan Parking lot, which is off main street (red area) - just about a block from One Cambridge Center. The guards leave about 3pm, after which you can park there.
