Getting to Kendall Square and the East Garage

MBTA Red Line

Take the MBTA Red Line to Kendall Square. Come out so you're facing the Kendall Square entrance on the opposite side of the street. This is Main Street. If you came from the north (Harvard Square, Alewife, etc), follow the sidewalk to the left; if you came from the south (Park Street, Ashmont, Braintree, etc), walk across the street to the other entrance and then follow the sidewalk to the right.

You'll pass a fire station almost immediately, and then you'll come to Ames Street. Vassar Street is the next street after Ames, but it's been under construction for some time; the entrance to the East Garage is in the parking lot in the middle of the block between Ames and Vassar.

Interstate 93

From the south: Follow Route 93 North to the Cambridge/Storrow Drive exit (Exit 26). Take Exit 26, then follow the right fork and keep to the left as the offramp merges onto Storrow Drive.

From the north: Follow Route 93 South over the Tobin Bridge and take the Cambridge/Storrow Drive exit (Exit 26). Merge onto Storrow Drive and get into the left lane.

Once you're on Storrow Drive: Take the offramp on the left, shortly after the underpass, then take a right to cross over the Longfellow Bridge into Kendall Square.

You'll pass a Mariott Hotel after the first traffic light. Ames Street is at the second light, and Fulkerton Street is at the third. Take a left onto Fulkerton Street, and continue up to the traffic light. Ahead, Fulkerton Street turns into Vassar Street; the parking lot is on Main Street to the left.

Turn left onto Main Street, and the parking lot entrance will be on your right immediately after the left turn.

Interstate 495

Take the Massachusetts Turnpike (Exit 22) and follow it East to Cambridge (Exit 20). Then follow the Mass Pike directions below.

Route 128

Take the Massachusetts Turnpike (Exit 24), and follow it East to Cambridge (Exit 20). Then follow the Mass Pike directions below.

Massachusetts Turnpike

Take the Massachusetts Turnpike to Cambridge (Exit 20). Go through the lights and over the overpass, then turn right onto Memorial Drive. You'll pass the Howard Johnsons Motel and MicroCenter on your left, and then cross over the B.U. Bridge. At the first light after the B.U. bridge, take a left, and at the end of the very short street, turn right onto Vassar Street.

Follow Vassar Street to Massachusetts Avenue. If the road construction is still blocking Vassar, turn left onto Massachusetts Avenue and then take the next right, which is Albany Street. Otherwise just follow Vassar Street another block and turn right onto Main Street.

Follow Albany Street a block and turn right onto Main Street. Follow Main Street past Vassar Street and park in the East Garage parking lot, which is on your right.
