At GOVERNMENT CENTER, change to the Green Line.
Go westbound one stop to PARK STREET.

The T (Boston's subway system) may be the best way to get to CES from most places in the Greater Boston area. The Harvard Square stop on the Red Line is approximately 5 minutes from Busch Hall by foot.



By walking from Harvard Square:

Leave Harvard Square Station and cross Massachusetts Ave. (also known as Mass Ave.). You'll see a tall fence - part brick, part wrought iron. Pass through one of the many gates and you'll find yourself in Harvard Yard (a large quad surrounded by brick buildings). You should be able to see the statue of John Harvard in front of a light gray granite building. If you face the statue and turn left, you'll see a gate at the far end of the Yard. If you pass through this gate, the Science Center (a modern building with several telescope domes on top) is in front of you. To your right will be Memorial Hall, a large brick building which has a striking copper and slate steeple complete with gargoyles. Between the Science Center and Memorial Hall, there is a pedestrian path that leads to the corner of Oxford and Kirkland Streets. At the corner look right and you will see Busch Hall which has a clock tower and a red tile roof. There is a yellow wooden home to the left of Busch Hall and a very tall white building (William James Hall) to the right. The actual entrance to Busch Hall is on the left side of the building fifty feet down Cabot Way, a public walkway.



By car:

General Notes
Before driving to Busch Hall (CES), you need to plan where you are going to park. If you don't plan ahead or don't have lots of time to search for a parking place, you will be very frustrated. Please consider parking someplace outside the Harvard campus area and take the T the rest of the way in.
