The Venues
Boylston Hall
The informal welcoming event on Thursday, June 23, and the regular sessions on Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26, will take place in Boylston Hall, the granite-clad building located at the south end of Harvard Yard and to the right of Widener Library. The Fong Auditorium (110) is directly across from the main entrance.
Harvard Yard is the fenced-in area immediately northeast of Harvard Square and shown in green on the map.
Carpenter Center, B04
Friday’s sessions will take place in the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, which is located at 24 Quincy St, to the east of Harvard Yard. Meetings will convene in room B04 on the lower level.
Getting there from the Porter Square Hotel
By foot
Weather permitting, the best option for most people will be to walk (c. 25 minutes). The absolutely simplest route is to follow Massachusetts Avenue south from Porter Square to Harvard Square. You will have a slightly nicer walk if, once you are well underway, you cut east (left) from Mass. Ave. to the parallel Oxford St. and then continue south on Oxford St. until you hit the northern edge of Harvard Yard.
On public transportation
You can take the no. 77 or no. 96 bus from the corner of Mass. Ave. and Porter Rd. to Harvard Square (5 stops) or take the “T,” Boston's subway system, from Porter Square in the "Inbound" direction to Harvard Square (1 stop). Tickets can be purchased in cash from bus drivers or from machines at subway stops.
