Multiple forces shaped MIT's Graduate Junction residential development project, including housing capacity and demand, institutional initiative, unique site circumstances, regulatory progressivism, and design innovation.
Join us for this tour to explore the perspectives of the institutional, development, architectural, and landscape partners responsible for the project. Plus, learn how those perspectives came together to create a vibrant, dense, welcoming, multimodal, and well-crafted community on MIT's West Campus.
