Neuroimaging Maps and Directions

The below map shows the local surroundings of the Northwest Science Building.

In addition, see this Google walking map for the pedestrian route from the Harvard Square T Station to the Northwest Science Building.

See these customizable Google driving directions. Note that parking is very limited on Oxford Street (see Parking below.)

The nearest subway stop is the Harvard station on the Red Line. Take the Church Street exit and walk NNE through Harvard Yard to the Science Center. Then proceed away from the Science Center on Oxford St. The Northwest Building is just beyond the Harvard Museum of Natural History, on the right hand side of the street.

The subway fare is $2.40 (Charlie ticket required). From Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus from your terminal to South Station (your subway ticket will cover this part of the journey as well), and then the Red Line (Inbound, towards Alewife) six stops to Harvard. For journeys from other starting points, see the MBTA subway map.

Taxis from Logan Airport take 30 minutes (less outside rush hour) and cost $35-40.
