Mass. Institute of Technology - Cambridge, MA
Physics, Material Science & Engineering Bldg.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Physics, Material Science & Engineering Bldg. was initially conceived as a traditional renovation within the university’s central structure, the historic Main Group. As proposed in Payette’s Main Group Master Plan Study in 2003, future work within the Main Group would preserve its historic fabric while supporting flexibility of use and upgrades to essential building systems. The project was transformed into a strategic development that provides new and renovated program areas while also providing core infrastructure to nearly one quarter of the Main Group’s 1,000,000 square feet.
