How to Get to 1-190

Here's a map.

1-190 is on the first floor of building 1, one side of the room faces Memorial Drive and the River, the other side faces onto the Great Court.

The easiest way to get to MIT is by the T. Take the Red Line to Kendall Square. If you were traveling outbound, say from BU, you'll come up on the Coop side of Main Street. Cross Main Street and continue in the same direction. If you were traveling inbound, say from Harvard, there are two places you can come up. If you can look across Main Street and see the other T entrance, just keep walking away from Main Street. If you can't, you need to walk along Main Street (keeping it on your right) until you see the two T entrances.

Now you should be walking away from Main Street. Cross the crosswalk that should be right in front of you, then keep walking straight until you get to Amherst Street. Turn right and follow it until it runs into Ames Street.

To get to 1-190, walk down Ames Street to Memorial Drive, and turn right. You will pass, on your right:

• Tennis courts
• A neo-classical building with a lot of steps known as Walker Memorial.
• An open space between Walker and the more modern main library building.
• The main library.
• Building 2.
• The opening to the Great Court.
• The next building (the last building before you reach Massachusetts Avenue) is building 1. 1-190 is in the first part of the building you come to. The door to the building is on the Great Court, facing away from the river. That door is next to the entrance to 1-190.
