About the Building

The Science Center is a popular destination for students, faculty, staff, vendors and contractors, and visitors from around the world. Most come to attend science lectures and lab sessions; many to participate in special events conducted by Harvard-affiliated groups; some to visit the Greenhouse cafeteria and Cabot Science Library, and a few to admire the building's impressive architectural design.

Directions

Although the Science Center is a striking landmark on the Harvard Campus and can be seen clearly from downtown Harvard Square, the building is not directly accessible from major streets such as Massachusetts Avenue (a.k.a. Route 2A) and Cambridge Street. We hope this will help all in finding their way here.
