The lab is a walk away from the Lechmere subway station. There is also a shuttle bus that runs between Kendall subway station (near MIT) and the Galleria shopping mall (which is next door to our building). We are also close to the Charles river, which many joggers and bicyclists enjoy in the summer. A little further is a bridge that takes you across the river into the city of Boston.
