Directions
The MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is at the northeastern edge of the MIT campus on Vassar Street near the intersection with Main Street. The building we are in is known as the Stata Center and also MIT Building number 32 [map].
Getting to CSAIL from Logan International Airport [website] [map]:
- Taxi: Taxi fare from the airport is about $25-$30. Under normal traffic conditions the taxi ride will take about 25 minutes.
- Subway: From any terminal at Logan airport, take the MBTA Silver Line bus to South Station. Go downstairs and take the Red Line to Kendall/MIT (take the outbound train toward Alewife). Under normal conditions the ride will take about 30 minutes. When you exit the Kendall/MIT T station, walk Northwest, up Main Street (you will pass the MIT Coop and Legal Seafoods). When you come to the second intersection (Vassar St.), the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab will be in the very unique building to your left [walking directions]. The ticket for the whole trip costs $2, and can be bought at vending machines at the airport, or from the driver on the Silver Line bus. MBTA stops and vending machines can be identified by the "black T in a white circle" MBTA logo.
- Car: The drive from Logan Airport can be rather nasty, depending on traffic conditions. Take the Sumner Tunnel exit from the airport (not the Ted Williams Tunnel) and follow the signs toward Boston via the Sumner Tunnel. The tunnel toll is $3. As you exit the tunnel, take the ramp onto the expressway (I-93 North). Take the second exit, marked 'Storrow Drive West'. Immediately take the right fork of the road to a stoplight. Turn left, then immediately turn right and drive over the Charles River on the Longfellow Bridge. At the second traffic light after the river, take a left onto Ames Street and then a right onto Main Street. CSAIL will be on your left in the very unique building at the corner of Main and Vassar Street.
