A Revitalized Campus Helps to Accomplish MIT's Mission

MIT continues its objective of providing state-of-the-art amenities for its faculty, staff and students. The Department of Facilities is a leader in fulfilling that objective by providing the development and construction for the buildings. We also maintain, clean them and deliver the mail once the buildings are in operation.

President Susan Hockfield recently announced a major campus development program that will invest approximately three-quarters of a billion dollars in new and renovated facilities on MIT’s 154-acre campus.

Koch Institute
A new facility is currently in development and will be located next to the David H. Koch Biology Building and across Main Street from the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute. A foundational gift from MIT alumnus and trustee David H. Koch has kicked off fundraising for the building.

Sloan School Expansion
The School of Management's new home will extend from Memorial Drive to Main Street and will serve as an eastern gateway to the MIT campus. The project, designed by Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners in association with Bruner Cott/Architects, will support new curricular directions that emphasize collaboration and teamwork.

Media Lab and School of Architecture and Planning
A new Media Lab building, designed by Pritzker Prize winner Fumihiko Maki, in association with Leers Weinzapfel Associates, signals a new era of innovation at the Media Lab. The new addition will be adjacent and connected to the existing Wiesner Building.

NW35
An addition to the budding graduate community in the northwest section of campus is just beginning. This new graduate residence, designed by the award-winning firm of William Rawn Associates, Architects, headed by MIT alumnus William Rawn, will include 550 beds in a series of connected buildings that are three to five stories tall and are situation around two courtyards.

Vassar Streetscape West
The Vassar Streetscape West project, designed by Carol R. Johnson Associates, landscape architects, is made possible by a generous gift from the family of MIT alumnus and emeritus trustee Richard P. Simmons. The project continues the renovation of this major thoroughfare, already completed between Massachusetts Avenue and Main Street, and will make its entire length bicycle-friendly and pedestrian-scaled.

Building E25 Renovation
Work is also underway to consolidate the research laboratories of the pioneering Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, as well as laboratories for MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, in facilities renovated to designs by Imai Keller Moore.

Construction Updates are provided regularly via the web, email announcements and public notices.
