If you are driving, parking is available near the reception venue in MIT's Sloan Garage (also known as the E62 East Garage), adjacent to the Samberg Conference Center. Shuttle buses will provide transportation from MIT to Memorial Church in Harvard Square for the ceremony. Please visit the Transportation tab for a walking map from the garage to the shuttle pickup location. The garage and shuttle stop are close to one another, but the route can be a bit confusing if you are unfamiliar with campus. After the ceremony concludes, shuttle service will be available to return guests to the Samberg Conference Center for the reception. If you plan to use the shuttle, please let us know in your RSVP whether you anticipate riding to the ceremony, returning to the reception, or both. Alternatively, you may choose to find parking in Harvard Square for the ceremony and then drive directly to MIT afterward, where parking will be available in Sloan Garage (E62 East Garage) for the reception.
Both Memorial Church and the MIT Samberg Conference Center are directly located on the Red Line. This is a great option if you prefer it!
