Building Services tab in SAPweb
A new tab in SAPweb allows our customers to order many of our services more easily. The former “Building Repair” tab has evolved into “Building Services”. On Nov. 3rd, when Facilities launched the new Building Services tab, Dept of Facilities Services was removed as an Internal Provider in SAP. All installation requests, cleaning and other custodial related requests, moving and recycling, will all be made through the new tab.

These halls are meant for walking...only. Be a good citizen and help keep our campus safe by leaving your two-wheeled transportation outside. Remember, the operation of bicycles, in-line skates, skateboards, Segways or any other form of wheeled personal transportation is prohibited inside Institute buildings or parking structures.
A fine of $25.00 will be imposed by MIT Police. Learn about bicycle safety, registration and more.

Satellite Parking is available at five locations.
Commuting Options are expanding again with an additional commuter benefit: Satellite Parking. Off campus parking is now available at five locations: Lincoln Labs, Wellesley College, Bates, Endicott House and Haystack. A free shuttle service is offered from Lincoln Labs and Wellesley College. Parking at Bates, Endicott House and Haystack is for those who would like to rideshare. Additional details are available online.

Parking reserved for Commencement guests.
On Friday, June 6, the Albany Street Garage, N10 Annex Lot, and N10 Lot were reserved for Commencement guest parking. Parkers with North Area permits were urged to use alternate modes of transportation on Commencement Day.

For those who had to drive, parking was available in the 158 Mass. Ave. Lot, N42 Lot, 70 Pacific Street Lot, 65 Waverly Street Lot, and West Garage. Locations of the parking areas on campus may be found on the Where is MIT website.

East Parking Lot closes. MIT closed the East Parking Lot in early April to allow for construction of the Koch Institute, a new cancer research building. Over 200 parking spaces were relocated and new spots for visitor parking became available in the Hayward Lot. Employees with an MIT permit who used the East Lot after 2:30 or 5:00 pm will be allowed to park in the Stata Center, Buildings 44/46 or Hayward Lots..
