Location: Building 56 Room 167

Directions: 
Building 56 Room 167 is located on the main campus. To get to building 56 from Kendall Square and the MIT T, walk up Main Street from Kendall Square to the intersection of Ames and Main Street. Turn left on Ames and walk up until you see the List Visual Arts Center on your left and a building that ends at Ames St. in a point. (Triangle-looking). There is a wide sidewalk/walking path on your right just past the pointy building. Take a right and walk along the sidewalk to an interior building courtyard. Pass a black abstract sculpture on your left and a few buildings and look for a building entrance on the right half-way down. The entrance says "building 16", but this is the way to building 56. Enter and take a right, passing a large black screen and a bank of elevators. Look to your right, building 56 room 167 will be on your right after the computer lab.
