DIRECTIONS FROM THE HARVARD SUBWAY ("T") STATION

(Additional maps of the Harvard campus can be found here)

• The subway in Boston is the MBTA (aka "the T"). Take the "Harvard Yard" exit out of the Harvard T station. That will put you at the "T stop" point on the map.

• As you exit, the main campus gate will be just ahead of you on the right.

• Walk through the main campus gate into the Old Yard.

• As you get into the Yard, take a left and walk (north) through the Yard, exiting through one of the two north gates. As you exit the Yard there will be a big odd-looking building in front of you. That's the Science Center, donated by the Polaroid Corp. in the 1970s and designed to look like an old-fashioned camera. .

• After having reflected on the fleeting nature of architectural tastes, go around the Science Center to the right and walk north. You are now on Oxford St. 50 m on your left is Pierce Hall, an early-20th century red brick building.

• Walk in through the first entrance and up a short set of stairs. Daniel Jacob's office (110C) is on the first floor on your right. Jennifer Logan's office (108) is on your left. Group secretary Brenda Mathieu's office (109) is in front of you.

This map of the Harvard campus will give you a more general perspective. The campus has three stars on the Michelin Guide so we hope you'll have some time to walk around.

FROM BOSTON'S LOGAN AIRPORT:

Most of us locals take the MBTA subway (aka "the T"). The T's new Silver Line service makes it much easier to get from Logan Airport to Harvard. The trip takes 40 minutes.

• Purchase a T ticket ("CharlieTicket") to get on the SILVER LINE. There should be clearly marked automated fare machines in each of Logan Airport's terminals (on the lower level, near the ground transportation information). Personnel should be available to assist you in using the fare machines. If in doubt ask for assistance. The fare is $2.00.

• After purchasing your CharlieTicket, proceed from the airport "ground transportation" exit to the SILVER LINE BUS STOP. (Silver Line buses stop outside each of Logan's main terminals.)

• Take SILVER LINE route #SL1 to SOUTH STATION. The Silver Line buses are large and have plenty of room for luggage. Silver Line buses run approximately every 10-15 minutes, and every 7-8 mins at peak times.

• At SOUTH STATION, transfer to the RED LINE subway inbound platform (direction: towards Alewife). This is a free transfer.

• Take the RED LINE 6 stops to HARVARD SQUARE STATION.

• Exit from HARVARD SQUARE STATION via the "Church St./Harvard Yard" exit. As you exit the station, take the left-hand staircase that leads to street level. Upon arriving at street level, the main campus gate will be just ahead to your right. Walk through the gate and follow the directions from Harvard Square Subway Station.

Or you can take a cab. It'll take you 15-30 minutes depending on traffic. It'll cost you about $40 including an expected 10-15% tip. There's a $6.50 airport pickup charge, so don't get nervous if you see the driver putting that amount on the meter as soon as you step in. Tell the driver "Harvard Square" and ask to be dropped at the main campus gate in front of Harvard Yard. From there follow the directions from Harvard Square Subway Station.

BY CAR:

Get a road map from Map Quest or equivalent tools. From Oxford St. you can take the driveway just north of Pierce Hall and park behind Pierce. You should ask Brenda Mathieu or your contact in the group to get you a day parking permit ($5). There is a tolerance for visitors without permits after noon (seminar times).
