The Edgerton Center

The Edgerton Center sustains many of the independent student-design teams across campus with both monetary and administrative support. If it were not for this support over the years, MIT Motorsports could not have developed into the team we are today.
The Edgerton Center truly embodies the spirit which makes MIT such a special institution.
