Picture This!

East Campus stands serene as the eastern buttress of the MIT campus. Built strong and somber in the classical style, East Campus may lack some amenities but makes up for them in style and economy. Ten halls: five on the east and five on the west, each distinctively decorated, each with a personality of its own, each home to some three dozen students. Two long buildings separated by a leafy central courtyard and linked at one end by a tunnel. Two parallels: each with three sections, named after early alumni whose names are engraved in the stone entablatures facing the courtyard: Walcott, Bemis, Goodale on the east; Wood, Hayden, Monroe on the west. Within the hallowed halls, scions of science and technology mingle with hierophantic humanists, building, creating, exploring, cavorting. Of the realm, and at the helm, the house-masters Kate and Tom Delaney and Sharon Snaggs - share pride in the students and their accomplishments. House Manager Joseph Graham wrestles with upkeep, and strives to keep the building strong and safe.

Students, tutors, staff and house-masters extend a hearty welcome!
