The Evolving
MIT Campus
"The buildings on this extraordinary
campus should be as diverse, innovative, and audacious as
the community they support. They should stand as a metaphor
for the ingenuity at work inside them." —Charles M. Vest, President
MIT has embarked on one of its most
ambitious building initiatives. All over campus you can
hear the sound of history being built on numerous active
construction sites, on streetscape improvements, utility
upgrades, and structural restorations. And other projects
are on the drawing boards.
The architectural metamorphosis now
under way will add nearly one million state-of-the art square
feet to MIT's 154-acre campus and will rejuvenate many existing
facilities. Flexible, leading-edge laboratories will support
emerging research demands. New residence halls and common
spaces will inspire visionary collaboration, and the architecture
itself will reinforce the vital, forward-thinking spirit
of the community it serves.
