Driving
Directions:
|
Before planning
a car trip to the Graduate School of Design, consider where
you are going to park. If you aren't going to pre-arrange
parking, or don't have lots of time to search for a parking
place, you should strongly consider parking elsewhere and
taking the subway to Harvard Square.
Directions
from Logan Airport:
Follow signs to the Sumner Tunnel into Boston. Immediately
on leaving the tunnel, take I-93 North. Take the second
exit, marked "Storrow Drive/ Cambridge." Follow the signs
to Storrow Drive West. Take Storrow Drive for approximately
5 miles until the towers of Harvard are visible on the other
side of the river. (Storrow Drive has now become Soldiers
Field Road.) See below for directions from here.
Directions
from Storrow Drive/Soldiers Field Road:
Take the Harvard Square Exit and cross the river. Continue
North on JFK street through 4 sets of traffic lights (the
4th is Harvard Square proper). Continue straight through
the 4th light and take the right fork down under the the
underpass and the left fork up to Cambridge Street (stay
in the left lane). At the first traffic light there will
be a fire station on the right, and Gund Hall (the GSD)
will be diagonally oposite on the left.
Directions
from the Massachusetts Turnpike:
Take Exit 18, "Cambridge/ Allston." Bear right after the
tollbooth. At the first traffic light turn left onto Soldiers
Field Road. See above for the directions from here.
Directions
from Route 2 (west of the city)
Follow route 2 East until it merges with Alewife Brook Parkway
(the Alewife subway station and parking garage will be on
the right). Get in the left lane and follow the sign indicating:
East 16 North 3 Arlington Medford. Bear left through the
lights and take a right onto Massachusetts Avenue (also
East 2A) at the next set of lights (.4 mile). Follow Massachusetts
Avenue 2.1 miles. (Cambridge Common will be on the right.)
Get into the left lane and, after driving through the set
of lights, get into the farthest left lane. Drive around
the island on the left and merge with traffic on your right.
Get into the middle lane, bear right into the tunnel under
the pedestrian walkway. At the end of the short tunnel,
bear left onto Cambridge Street at the fire station. Gund
Hall is on the far northwest corner at the next intersection
(intersection of Quincy Street and Cambridge Streets).
