Building spaces for the community to study, work and relax
 A world class institution like MIT deserves award-winning  spaces. At MIT our buildings have won LEED certification as well as design  awards. Facilities staff know that teaching and research are the lifeblood of  MIT, so we provide the physical space and technical capabilities needed for MIT  classrooms and laboratories, offices and living spaces for our students. We  know that gathering places like dining areas and libraries draw members of the  community together. Major projects and new buildings recently completed that  enhance the life and learning at the Institute are listed here and below.
