Bricks and mortar
Support at the foundation.
We invite you to learn more about the priorities for capital projects at the Institute, and to offer you the opportunity to create a lasting, tangible legacy at MIT. From the iconic grandeur of the Bosworth complex, to the modernist traditions of I.M. Pei, to the daring creativity of the Stata Center, these exteriors suggest very different traditions. But each structure promotes a mission that has changed little since MIT’s founding 150 years ago: to promote the very highest level of scholarship and teaching, and to share in the knowledge that our work will reach far into the future.

David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research (KI)
The Koch Institute is the transformational setting where 500 scholars, technicians, and staff work to confront and control cancer. In every aspect, the building reflects KI’s mission to advance basic and interdisciplinary science: Here, engineers and life scientists work across disciplines, sharing sophisticated equipment that no single lab could support. In this state-of-the-art facility, collaborations, and breakthroughs, will be just a short walk down the hall. Read more…
Ashdown House (NW35)
New Ashdown House is a graduate student residence that leverages its proximity to nearby existing dormitories and campus facilities. The building uses green spaces, environmental design, and natural lighting to enrich the quality of each student’s residence hall experience. And, flexible living choices ensure independence while fostering a sense of community. Read more…
The MIT Sloan School Expansion
Where MIT Sloan faculty members were once scattered across nine facilities on campus, this expansion finally brings these key thought leaders together under one roof. The MIT Sloan School Expansion reflects MIT’s unique brand of management training, as the culture of entrepreneurship and innovation permeates the facility. Tomorrow’s managers will have access to executive education suites, networked meeting spaces, and business lounges. Read more…
The Media Lab Extension Project
The MIT Media Lab redefines human-computer interaction in the digital age—from “smart” prosthetic limbs, to tools that help children learn, to sociable robots. The Media Lab Extension facilitates openness and interaction among future-obsessed product designers, nanotechnologists, data-visualization experts, and pioneers of computer interfaces, as they tirelessly invent—and reinvent—how humans experience technology.

The Bosworth Buildings (“Main Group”)
The century-old Bosworth Buildings are the most populated structures on campus, occupying a central location at the core of academic life at MIT. Together with the iconic Dome, they form the Infinite Corridor, and house key disciplines like mathematics and physics. Now, these stately buildings are in dire need of structural improvements. Restoration and environmental upgrades will ensure that these vital buildings, and MIT’s heritage, are renewed and preserved.
