Finding MIT, Building by Building

MIT maps are particularly important since the numbered building system can take a while to learn. Facilities maintains the geographic and building information displayed on the campus basemap, available as a PDF or an interactive version, as well as several specialty maps.

Gardens and Courtyards

Facilities has created maps for semiannual garden tours, conducted by Grounds Services staff and sponsored by the MIT Activities Committee (MITAC). The summer tour highlights trees and plantings along Memorial Drive. The autumn tour reveals dozens of plant species from the northwest edge of campus to the Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center.

For information about MIT's small garden spaces, see the Pocket Garden web pages or pickup a paper copy of the MIT Pocket Garden Map at the MIT Information Center in Building 7.

Underground MIT

Custodial Services hosts subterranean tours (pdf) of the campus network of tunnels. Explore underground MIT and find ways to avoid bad weather.
