About the tour
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the world’s leading institutions for science, engineering, and technology. Founded in 1861, MIT is renowned for its cutting-edge research, entrepreneurial spirit, and problem-solving approach to education. Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just across the Charles River from Boston, MIT’s campus is a blend of historic and futuristic architecture, reflecting its innovative culture.
Campus Highlights & Must-See Landmarks
● The Great Dome & Killian Court
One of MIT’s most iconic symbols, the Great Dome, sits atop Building 10 and overlooks Killian Court, a scenic green space where commencement ceremonies are held. This area embodies MIT’s rich academic tradition.
● Stata Center
Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, the Ray and Maria Stata Center is home to MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Its unconventional design reflects MIT’s creativity and forward-thinking approach.
● Infinite Corridor
This famous quarter-mile-long hallway connects several buildings and is the main artery of MIT’s campus. If you visit during the twice-yearly MIThenge, you might witness the stunning alignment of sunlight through the corridor.
● MIT Media Lab
A hub of groundbreaking research, the MIT Media Lab explores human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and design innovation. It has contributed to significant advancements in technology and media.
● Green Building (Building 54)
MIT’s tallest building, the Green Building, houses the Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Department. It is known for its use in student hacks (pranks), including the famous “Tetris on the Green Building” event.
● Harvard Bridge & The Smoot Measurement
The Harvard Bridge, which connects MIT to Boston, is humorously measured in “Smoots,” a unit of measurement based on the height of MIT student Oliver Smoot. This quirky tradition reflects MIT’s playful engineering culture.
● MIT Museum & List Visual Arts Center
The MIT Museum showcases fascinating exhibits on robotics, artificial intelligence, and MIT’s history of innovation. The List Visual Arts Center highlights contemporary art and design.
MIT is located in the heart of Cambridge, a city known for its intellectual vibrancy and proximity to Harvard University. The campus sits along the Charles River, offering beautiful views and outdoor activities like rowing and jogging. Nearby Kendall Square, often called the “most innovative square mile on the planet,” is home to biotech startups, tech companies, and research institutions. Just across the river, Boston’s rich history and cultural attractions, such as the Museum of Science and the Freedom Trail, are easily accessible.
