East Campus Renovation
Throughout the design process the project team continues to engage with student residents and the house team on the student life program elements of the design.
East Campus has been selected as the next residential renewal project as part of MIT’s 2030 campus renovation and renewal plan.
Both East Campus parallels are anticipated to go offline after MIT’s 2023 Commencement exercises and will remain unoccupied for the duration of the renewal period, which is expected to last for two academic years.
Throughout the design process, the Division of Student Life (DSL), Housing & Residential Services (HRS), and the project team will engage the house team and resident student leaders to ensure that the East Campus Transition Team (ECTT) works with the architects and provides input on the student life program elements of the design.
East Campus Transition Team
The ECTT will serve as a working group to plan for the transition of the East Campus (EC) community due to the anticipated renovation and renewal of Buildings 62 and 64. Responsibilities of the group include:
- Raising renewal-related issues and developing strategies to address them;
- Working through relocation logistics, including housing assignments, community event and gathering spaces, community storage and other student and staff needs;
- Documenting house history, culture, and artwork;
- Providing input on the renovation designs in student and residential spaces; and
- Ensuring effective communication with the EC community.
The anticipated timeline for project engagement, which is subject to change based on the final construction timeline, is still under development
The Division of Student Life (DSL) has worked with East Campus leadership to assemble the Transition Team, which includes house team members, student residents from the house, and DSL staff. Below, please find a list of current ECTT members:
