What's in the Works
As part of an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), MIT completed the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Kendall Square and has acquired the Volpe site's 10-acre development parcel. With the new federal building now open, MIT is preparing to proceed with the creation of a dynamic mixed-use project on the site, incorporating the Cambridge community’s extensive planning and visioning efforts to increase housing, open space, and retail activity, while adding commercial office and laboratory spaces.
