Architecture, history & things to do near MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
MIT's campus stretches along the Cambridge side of the Charles River, organized by a numbered building system that reflects its engineering culture. The Great Dome (Building 10) crowns the main entrance on Massachusetts Avenue. The Infinite Corridor (Building 7 through Building 8) is a 251-meter hallway connecting the main campus buildings — twice a year the sun aligns perfectly through its length. The Stata Center (Building 32), designed by Frank Gehry, houses computer science and linguistics in a deconstructivist masterpiece. The Koch Institute (Building 76) is where cancer research happens. Building 20, now demolished, was the legendary 'magical incubator' where radar, Bose speakers, and Noam Chomsky's linguistics were developed.
