“On the Kendall Square side [of MIT], a pair of towers currently under construction on Main Street will form the new ‘eastern gateway’ to the campus. One [Site 4], by Boston-based firm NADAAA, in collaboration with Perkins+Will as architect of record, is a 28-story, 454-unit graduate-student residence with daring cantilevers and views of the Charles River. The structure will also include retail, offices, a childcare center, a 200-seat forum for public events, and the new MIT admissions office.”
“[MIT’s current developments] are more contextual, more aligned to the institute’s goal of melding with its Cambridge surroundings, in an effort to promote healthier, more dynamic interaction between the institute and its neighbors.”
Site 4 construction will be completed in summer 2020! Read more HERE.
