If you are heading south on I-93, follow I-93 into Boston then follow the I-93 instructions below. If you are heading south on I-95, take the I-93 South exit then follow the instructions from I-93. Alternatively, take the I-90 East exit from I-95 then follow the instructions from I-90.From the South (I-95 or I-93)

Follow I-90 east to the Cambridge/Brighton exit (exit 18). Following the signs to Cambridge, cross the River Street Bridge, and continue straight about 1 mile, at which point you will be in Central Square. Turn right onto Massachusetts Avenue, staying on Mass Ave for about a quarter mile. Fork left onto Main Street and continue toward Kendall Square for another quarter mile. MIT will be on your right (if you cross the river again, you have gone too far). Turn right on Ames Street, then left on Amherst. Building E-51 is on the corner of Amherst and Wadsworth.From I-93
From I-93, take exit 26, and follow the signs to Back Bay along Storrow Drive West, approximately 1.5 miles, to the exit for Route 2A.

Heading toward Cambridge, cross the Harvard Bridge; as you do, you will be looking at MIT. Take the first right after the bridge onto Memorial Drive, and promptly get into the left lane. Take the first left off Memorial Drive (i.e., at the sign for “Kendall Square”) onto Wadsworth Street. Building E-51 is the first building on your left, at the corner of Amherst Street.Parking
