OUR CAMPUS

Campus Map Our campus (PDF map) is located on the main Harvard University campus just north of historic Harvard Yard and bounded to the east by Oxford Street. To the west, across an oak-filled quadrangle, is the Harvard Law School.

We are situated among the buildings housing the University's Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics departments.

Our world class facilities provide over 400,000 square feet of interconnected labs, classrooms, clusters, and offices designed to encourage researchers and students to cross boundaries and collaborate.

Primary buildings include: Maxwell Dworkin, Pierce Hall, Cruft Laboratory, Gordon McKay Laboratory of Applied Science, the Engineering Sciences Laboratory, and 60 Oxford Street. (The first three of these facilities are interconnected.)

Those visiting may want to stop by our social center/cafe. The space, on the ground floor of Maxwell Dworkin, offers comfortable seating, work spaces, wi-fi access, a flat screen television (with cable programming), and a cafe that serves hot and cold drinks and light breakfast/lunch fare. The cafe is open Monday-Friday 8:30am-2:30pm and closed on weekends and holidays.
