Directions to MIT and the Hayden Memorial Library 

(Building 14S - 160 Memorial Drive, Cambridge)

via Public Transportation - MBTA ("The T") 

Subway - By train, take the Red Line to the Kendall/MIT Station or to the
Central Square Station, both of which are a short walk from campus. The walk
from Central Square to MIT takes about 10 minutes and takes you right down
Massachusetts Avenue. The Kendall/MIT Station is on the edge of the east end
of campus and closest to the Hayden Library. Make your way to 160 Memorial
Drive via Wadsworth Street or Ames Street via Carleton and Amherst Streets. 

Bus - The #1 or Dudley/Harvard Station bus stops at MIT on Massachusetts
Avenue and provides transportation to Central Square and Harvard Square
(Northbound), and Boston (Southbound). The MIT stop is at a large crosswalk
with a stoplight. On one side of the street are steps leading up to large
Ionic columns and the Small Dome of MIT; on the other side of the street is
the Stratton Student Center and Kresge Oval (an open, grass-covered area).
Additionally, the CT1 (Crosstown bus) stops at the MIT stop on Massachusetts
Avenue and the CT2 bus stops on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and
Vassar St. as well as Kendall Square T Station.

into Boston then follow the I-93 instructions below. If you are heading
south on I-95, take the I-93 South exit then follow the instructions from

>From the West (I-90) (Mass Turnpike) Follow I-90 east to the

the River Street Bridge, and continue straight about 1 mile to Central

for about a half mile. For Hayden Library, turn left on Vassar Street, then
right onto Main Street, then right onto Ames Street to Memorial Drive. Turn
right for 160 Memorial Drive.  

>From Route I-93 Take exit 26, and follow the signs to Back Bay along Storrow
Drive West, approximately 1.5 miles, to the exit for Route 2A. The exit will
be on the left, just before the Harvard Bridge (more appropriately called
the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge). The Charles River will be on your right.
As you cross the bridge, you will be looking at MIT - the Great Dome and
academic facilities are on the right, the dormitories and athletic
facilities are on the left. After crossing the bridge, Memorial Drive is
